We're still waiting on the Obamacare-subsidy case. "The key to this litigation is an awkward wording...which says the subsidies come 'through an Exchange established by the State...' If we relied only on a literal reading of these words in isolation, there would be no subsidies allowed by exchanges not established by individual states — meaning that millions of people who are insured in the federal exchanges in the 36 states that refused to establish their own state-run marketplaces would be stripped of eligibility for subsidies. This would be devastating for most of them....But the damage would go beyond these individuals....It would radically alter all individual insurance markets, changing the risk pool in ways that would destabilize them." Norm Ornstein in The Atlantic.

(Alan: My doc friends at Duke Medical Center clinics tell me that cost-cutting measures in accord with the ACA began within a year of the law's passage. They also say that those changes have been beneficial medically and as cost-containment procedures.)
