After the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), critics noticed that subsidies for health insurance purchases would be available only through “an Exchange established by the State," such as the ill-fated Cover Oregon.  The IRS actively ignored this part of the law and offered subsidies to those using the federal exchange, healthcare.gov, as well.  Four legal challenges were filed to stop those illegal subsidies – and the illegal taxes they trigger. One of those challenges, King v. Burwell, goes before the U.S. Supreme Court on March 4, with a ruling expected by June. 

Michael F. Cannon is considered “ObamaCare’s single most relentless antagonist” and an “intellectual father” of the legal strategy that would expose how ObamaCare doesn’t work simply by requiring the Obama administration to follow the letter of the law. He will speak in Portland just six days before the U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments in King v. Burwell.  “The man who could bring down ObamaCare” will discuss the case, what it means for Oregonians and Washingtonians, and how Congress should reform health care after ObamaCare.
