The U.S. Supreme Court has already posted a 97-page transcript of today’s King vs. Burwell (Case Number 14-114) oral arguments.
The petitioners in the case argue that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) gives the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) no authority to offer premium tax credit subsidies through HHS-established PPACA exchanges.
HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell and the other respondents say the lack of explicit permission for HHS to offer exchange plan subsidies is a drafting error, and that the rest of PPACA makes it clear that HHS exchanges can offer the subsidies.
