It wouldn’t affect most of the law. The ramifications would be that many subsidies would be lost.

Nothing. No one in the health insurance industry has been expecting the risk corridor payments to actually be made in years. It would be a welcome shock if the Supreme Court actually forces Congress to make them.


Also, the title needs to be updated to indicate this concerns risk corridors, not "subsidies," a term which impies APTC or CSR subsidies. Mods?
