Another federal court has struck down an IRS rule that gives Obamacare subsidies to customers in federally-run exchanges.




The United States District Court in Oklahoma ruled Tuesday in Pruitt v. Burwell that the IRS rule extending health insurance tax credits to Obamacare exchange customers in states that chose not to build their own exchange is illegal.




The Obama administration’s rule is "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion or other not in accordance with law,” according to federal district Judge Ronald White.




The question comes down to the repeated instruction in the text of the Affordable Care Act that advanced premium tax credits are to go only to customers of exchanges "established by the state.” The plaintiff in this case, Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt, argues that Congress’ text says customers in Oklahoma, which doesn’t run its own exchange, aren’t eligible for the subsidies.

It they actually cared about the rule of law this might make a difference.

Obamacare will have some interesting fallout after the election, between stuff like this and all the deadlines the administration kicked down the road.

Please, Dear God, keep all conservative SCOTUS members healthy until this can be heard. I think the subsidy can be defeated 5-4. Even Roberts will go for it.

Wrong - most uninsured citizens live in states that have an exchange.  They just don't know it yet.

What about states with state-federal partnerships? That's what mine is through, and yes, I get a subsidy.

Good luck!

"In a surprising move certain to shake up Minnesota’s state-run exchange, PreferredOne, a large provider-owned health plan, announced it will drop out of the MNsure exchange for 2015.
According to a letter sent to MNsure and the Minnesota Commerce Department Monday, PreferredOne CEO Marcus Merz said that continuing to offer insurance through the MNsure marketplace is “not sustainable.” The move likely will force thousands of PreferredOne’s individual-market customers to switch to other plans to keep their federal premium subsidies."
