Thanks for posting. Interesting.
Hopefully, other states’ AG’s were stronger and clearer in their complaints. Granted, this may be a small fraction of what they submitted. But this strikes me as weak, relying too heavily on relative minor points (the arguments that the state’s employment will be affected, the law’s effect on existing state health plans, etc.) The administration’s defense will simply produce its polar opposite findings and they’ll just go round and round with their data.
Since the court is neither an actuary nor economist (and even those experts get things wrong regularly) there’s no real way to test accuracy of the monetary predictions of either side. That leaves far too much cover for the court, as the tie-breaker for which side to believe will go to the one that aligns with the judge’s politics. JMHO
I suspect this one will be based on the integrity or lack thereof, of the individual justices themselves. And with any luck at all their reading of the mood of the country right now. Would be a no-brainer for me, but...
The piece I posted was just a press release. If you follow the link at the top of the article you can get to the nuts and bolts of it. Heck, I'll just link it HERE(pdf).
The lawsuit filed in Florida, now joined by 14 other States I believe, is HERE.
Enjoy! ;^)
