Good News for Obamacare

Obamacare supporters just got some good news from the courts

By Jason Millman September 4

The Obama administration and supporters of the president's health-care law are probably breathing a little easier this morning after some pretty big news from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

A few months after a three-member panel of the court ruled the federal government can't provide insurance subsidies through federal-run exchanges in 36 states, the court on Thursday granted the Obama administration's request for the entire panel to re-hear the case. The en banc hearing, as it's known, wasn't entirely unexpected — and with a heavy makeup of Democratic-appointed judges on the panel, it seems likely the administration will get a more favorable ruling when the entire court reconsiders the case later this year.

<snip>

The entire D.C. circuit is expected to uphold subsidies through the federal-run exchanges, which would eliminate conflicting decisions in the appellate courts. That makes it less likely that the Supreme Court will eventually take the subsidy challenges, though the justices can still decide to do so.

<snip>

In short, Republican Governors and legislatures are probably not going to be able to continue to screw their constituents out of Obamacare and-----and the Corporate Supreme Court will probably not be able to justify screwing millions of Americans out of buying health insurance from private insurance companies at affordable rates.

They will still be able to screw their constituents out of Obamacare. They just can't screw others out of subsidies

You mean they can screw the taxpayers of America into paying for all those who can't afford to take care of themselves.

Such a fucking deal for the taxpayers..

Obama wrote the law incorrectly and now he wants the courts to rewrite the law for him!! That's not how it's supposed to be done. He needs to go to congress. The very first words of the constitution after the preamble are "all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the united states."

Courts can't write laws - though they do it all the time and prolly will here.

If you're Fox... dependent for information you probably don't know but-----but healthcare costs this year are increasing at an historically low level. That low level is projected increase thru 2023 but-----check it out-----but at continued historically low levels.

Health care spending growth is slow but rising

Health care costs have been growing at a historically low rate but are poised to increase again starting this year, according to a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services report out today.

Though growth over the next nine years is likely to be lower than it was from the 1990s through most of the 2000s, it will average 6% from 2015 to 2023, up from the 5.8% CMS predicted last year.

That's below the 7.2% increase in health care spending from 1990 through 2008.
The growth in health spending for 2013 is estimated to have slowed to 3.6%, but the rate will rise to 5.6% for 2014, the report says.

Health care spending is growing at 3% a year?? HAHAHA. It's more like 20% and it's been like that for years and years. As long as we continue to give free health care at ERs to to everyone who shows up, even ILLEGALS, there is no hope.

Health spending is not the same as insurance costs. That has been closer to 20%

Where were you when Reagan and Bush I were spending Billions propping up Russia while taking a victory lap for "winning" the cold war?
