You know what though, lay that aside, since I'm sure you could troll till the end of days on that count if it allowed you to avoid the reality of the recent EO.On what basis is there cause for a lawsuit? Are the subsidies written into law? Where does the money to fund them come from? What kind of contract exists between the insurance companies and a particular office of the federal government?
The Office of the Presidency of the United States has acted in bad faith. We can't trust the american government to adhere to it's agreements, or to pay it's bills. They're going to be sued, and they're going to lose.
-and then, you'll pay for that too.
You're clapping at Scrotus for having ensured that an even larger subsidy will be paid to insurers and their lawyers, even as hardship is inflicted on the american populace.
IMO it's stupid to pay the insurance companies because they don't add any value to the process. It would be better if the federal government ran the system on the Medicare model and offered a series of graduated programs like the insurance companies do in addition to the basic 80% plan.
The insurance companies could continue to exist but they would have to compete with the federal plans as well as with each other.
