Hey, guys. Don’t give up hope. The ACA has the seeds of its own destruction.
The decision was only about the tax credit (Premium assistance, to you).
It didn’t touch one very important aspect of the ACA, namely:
Take a look at this ACA provision
SEC. 1555. FREEDOM NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN FEDERAL HEALTH
INSURANCE PROGRAMS.
No individual, company, business, nonprofit entity, or health
insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage
shall be required to participate in any Federal health insurance
program created under this Act (or any amendments made
by this Act), or in any Federal health insurance program expanded
by this Act (or any such amendments), and there shall be no
penalty or fine imposed upon any such issuer for choosing not
to participate in such programs.”
So, in those 36 states on Healthcare.gov, no one has to join and can’t be penalized.
Sorry for the icewater bath, you raging libs.
"No individual, company, business, nonprofit entity, or health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage shall be required to participate exempt from participating in any Federal health insurance program created under this Act (or any amendments made by this Act), or in any Federal health insurance program expanded by this Act (or any such amendments), and there shall be no a penalty or fine imposed upon any such issuer for choosing not to participate in such programs.”
