Top policy group: SCOTUS move puts healthcare at stake

[Geee]

The Hill:

One of the country’s leading healthcare policy groups is raising alarms about the Supreme Court’s upcoming ruling on ObamaCare, warning that it could cut off subsidies for 13 million people and ultimately unravel the law.

 

Drew Altman, president and CEO of the Kaiser Family Foundation, is warning that if the court rules against ObamaCare, so many people could drop their coverage that it could destabilize the whole insurance market.

 

“If that happened, the resulting firestorm would likely precipitate a political crisis forcing a negotiation between Democrats and Republicans in Congress to address the problem and potentially opening up discussion of other elements of the ACA [Affordable Care Act] in the process,” Altman wrote in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal.
