House of Representatives Wins Round One of Obamacare Challenge: U.S. House of Representatives v. Burwell
Administrative Law & Regulation Practice Group Teleforum
On Thursday, May 12, a United States District Court Judge upheld a constitutional challenge to the Affordable Care Act by finding that the monies for two programs that reimburse insurance companies for providing health coverage at lower costs to low-income consumers and provide tax credits to help these consumers afford their premiums were never appropriated by Congress, and that the programs were thus unconstitutional. Judge Rosemary M. Collyer stayed her decision pending appeal. Our expert will discuss the opinion as well as its outlook on appeal.
