IT'S GOING TO BE REFORMED, NOT REPEALED:
Public supports O-Care subsidies threatened by Supreme Court case (Elise Viebeck, 01/28/15, The Hill)
Most Americans want ObamaCare subsidies to be available to people in all states, regardless of whether the state established its own exchange, a new poll suggests.The latest tracking survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation, released Wednesday, found that 64 percent wants Congress to pass a law guaranteeing subsidies if the Supreme Court invalidates those distributed through federally run exchanges.The poll underscores the high stakes of the King v. Burwell decision, which could stop billions of dollars in ObamaCare subsidies and create chaos for the fledgling system.Another 59 percent of people in states with federally run exchanges said their states should establish their own marketplaces if the justices rule for the plaintiffs.This view is held by majorities of Democrats, Republicans and independent voters.
