Obamacare is headed back to the Supreme Court yet again. Oral arguments are scheduled on March 4 where the plaintiffs of King V Burwell seek to set right the federal health law. Since 2014, the IRS has been illegally spending taxpayer money without Congressional authorization in the 36 states that have set up federally-run health insurance exchanges. As written in the law, only states that have set up their own health insurance exchange shall receive subsidies that discount the cost of health care plans for eligible individuals.
What’s interesting is that despite extreme Republican opposition to Obamacare, not too many have decided to further endorse these lawsuits. See Robert Pear’s NYT article here.
