The Supreme Court’s Decision on ACA Subsidies
The Supreme Court recently ruled that subsidies provided under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are legal. This decision is a significant victory for the ACA and for the millions of Americans who rely on it for health insurance.
The ACA, also known as Obamacare, was passed in 2010. The law provides subsidies to help low- and middle-income Americans afford health insurance. These subsidies are essential for many people, as they make health insurance more affordable and accessible.
The Supreme Court’s decision was a 6-3 ruling, with the majority opinion written by Justice Roberts. The majority opinion held that the subsidies are legal because the text of the ACA clearly states that they are available to people who purchase health insurance through exchanges established by the federal government.
The dissenting opinion, written by Justice Scalia, argued that the subsidies are illegal because the text of the ACA only authorizes subsidies for people who purchase health insurance through exchanges established by states.
The Supreme Court’s decision is a major victory for the ACA. It ensures that millions of Americans will continue to have access to affordable health insurance.
