White House To Ignore Court Ruling, Keep Handing Out Obamacare Subsidies

by Sarah Hurtubise

The Obama administration will continue handing out Obamacare subsidies to federal exchange customers despite a federal court’s ruling Tuesday that the subsidies are illegal.

A DC Court of Appeals panel ruled Tuesday morning that customers in the 36 states that didn’t establish their own exchange and use HealthCare.gov instead cannot be given premium tax credits, according to the text of the Affordable Care Act itself.

Read the detailed stories about the rulings here and here.

But the White House said in response that it will continue handing out the billions of taxpayer dollars in subsidies. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said that while the case continues to be battled out in the courts, the administration will continue to dole out billions in tax credits to federally-run exchange customers.

“It’s important for people all across the country to understand that this ruling does not have any practical impact on their ability to continue to receive tax credits right now,” Earnest said in a press briefing Tuesday.

There you go.  Who needs all those pesky laws when you can just ignore them, or issue your own Executive Orders by Spite House fiat?

But here’s the kicker: this potentially could result in those persons who can no longer acquire subsidies opting out of ObamaKare via the “hardship” clause, as in: they can’t afford it.  And when some opt out, many more millions will do so also.

  3. Old NFO…From a poll I saw today 42% of “Americans” are not afraid as they still support Obama. That scares me as much as the fact Obama is going to be president for the next 2 1/2 years.
