D.C. Appeals Court Overturns Subsidies For Fed Exchange; Fourth Circuit Takes Different View

Jul 22, 2014

A three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington ruled Tuesday that subsidies may not be offered in the federal health exchange. The decision overturned a lower court ruling. Hours later the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals offered its own decision, which upholds the Obama administration’s arguments that subsidies can be applied in the federal exchange.
