The Supreme Court of the United States has been looking at a case involving Obamacare today. Part of the problem is that the documents behind Obamacare are not clear in some points. One of them is whether or not subsidies for Obamacare should be made available to people in all states or only to people who live in states where an insurance exchange was created.

The case is such that the entire Obamacare program may be at risk. There are some major differences between this case and previous ones, and if it is thrown out, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of problems for a lot of people. For one thing, there are currently about 11 million people enrolled, and about 90 percent of them receive some kind of subsidy. If Obamacare is cancelled, most of those people on it could not afford a new health plan.

One thing that the justices brought out is that Congress often comes up short when it comes to writing the new laws and documents. In the case before the Supreme Court, the issue is the subsidies, where they only apply to situations where there is “an Exchange established by the state.” Many states, however, two-thirds of them, in fact, never set up an exchange. Some of the law’s opponents are saying that it only refers to people getting subsidies in states where an exchange has been created.

Although Congress often has to go back and make corrections to laws made previously, it could be a real problem this time. The partisan sentiment currently in Congress over Obamacare could make it nearly impossible to make a useful correction.

The document for the Affordable Care Act was almost purely partisan to begin with. This fact makes it very unlikely that any additions or corrections are ever going to be made to it. This is where the Supreme Court comes in. It will now be in their hands to try and re-interpret the law as written, or to throw it out altogether.
