Supreme Court rules federal gov't owes ACA insurers $12B - UPI.com

The ruling is a setback for the Trump administration, which argued the government isn't obligated to make payments for the fund.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a separate ACA challenge, from Republican-led states, that argues the law is unconstitutional. The high court is expected to hear the case later this year.

We will see how this goes.

Defunding Obamacare is not an option, Supreme Court says in 8-1 decision

Supreme Court requires government to pay health insurers under Affordable Care Act

The decision represents the high court's views on Congress' power of the purse: Lawmakers cannot promise funding and then disavow that pledge.

Trump doesn't control the purse strings dumbass.

Where does it say Trump has to pay?

Well, TDS Fueled© hate knows no bounds obviously. People can't even read straight because of it, like their insistence that POTUS told people to inject or drink disinfectants, and now this most recent example.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Congress cheated health insurance companies by reneging on a $12 billion promise made under the Affordable Care Act.​

​

The decision represents the high court's views on Congress' power of the purse: Lawmakers cannot promise funding in legislation and then disavow that pledge.​

​

Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote the 8-1 opinion on the basis of "a principle as old as the nation itself: The Government should honor its obligations."​

​

Associate Justice Samuel Alito dissented, calling it "a massive bailout for insurance companies that took a calculated risk and lost."​

It seems to me SCOTUS ordered Congress to pay as it should, not Trump. At least unlike the lefty morons on this board SCOTUS knows how our government is laid out and who does what according to articles I, II and III of the constitution.

Keep that in mind if you claim Trump can stop funding the WHO.

It was a GOP Congress in 2014 that weaseled on the funding.

SCOTUS just did Republicans a big favor

Imagine Obamacare unraveling right in the middle of our most crippling pandemic in history.

If we do not restart the economy its moot point.

when a jackboot government thug has his boot at your neck you may finally realize government isn't your friend and doesn't care about you except for what I as a taxpayer gives.

Bummer! Trump's wet dream was to yank the health insurance away from millions of Americans during the worst pandemic in our lifetime. I predict that he will fall on the floor, kick his feet, and hold his breath until he turns blue.

"Under the program, the federal government would limit insurance companies’ gains and losses on insurance sold in the marketplaces from 2014 through 2016. "

This was Obambi's boondoggle.

Nevertheless, Trump and his band of Merry Thieves start to salivate in their mouths any time that Obmacare takes a hit, and this isn't going to make them happy..

A bigger point is that 10 million Americans have lost their employer provided health insurance so far, whereas nobody in Europe has lost their's.

Europe may have great healthcare but they don't have the military to defend themselves.

Obama and Trump were on the same side of this from what I read when I searched for which particular congress session cut short the payments.

The program only lasted three years, but Congress inserted a provision in the Health and Human Services Department’s spending bills from 2015 to 2017 to limit payments under the “risk corridors” program. Both the Obama and Trump administrations had argued that the provision means the government has no obligation to pay.
