The Supreme Court has upheld the Obamacare subsidies for more than 6
million Americans with a 6-3 vote in the King v. Burwell decision,
handed down moments ago.
This means that individuals who get their health insurance through an
exchange established by the federal government will be eligible for tax
subsidies.
Six voting for the Affordable Care Act are Chief Roberts, Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan.
This is, of course, great news for those people who can now feel secure about Affordable Health Care and their own health needs. It is great news for the Obama administration and oddly enough, for Republicans, who can continue to moan and groan about it to their radical base without having to watch millions of people suddenly lose health care while the Grand Old Party stands by cheering without having any plan to put in its place.
I hope but doubt people will now leave it alone.
