Obamacare Subsidies Upheld in US Supreme Court Ruling


BBC AMERICA: The US Supreme Court has upheld a key portion of President Barack Obama's healthcare law in a 6-3 decision.

The court ruled the law as a whole made subsidies available for people in all 50 states, not just those who bought insurance through a state exchange.

The high court case was the second major challenge to the healthcare law- often known as Obamacare - since its passage.

The decision is major victory for the Obama administration.

"Congress passed the Affordable Care act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion.

If the law was overturned, 6.4 million Americans would have been at risk of losing aid.

The 2010 law, often known as Obamacare, set up a federally run insurance exchange where Americans who were not covered by employers or other governmental could buy health insurance. » | Thursday, June 25, 2015

Barack Obama Makes Full Blown Apology for Healthcare Debacle

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Barack Obama says he is 'not a perfect president' as he pledges to fix roll out of ObamaCare plan

Barack Obama last night issued a deeply personal 'mea culpa' for the botched roll-out of his health care reforms as the signature achievement of his presidency threatened to be derailed by technical glitches and a broken campaign promise.

"I am not a perfect man and I will not be a perfect president, but I'll wake up every single day working as hard as I can on behalf of Americans," said Mr Obama, as he issued an unusually abject apology for "fumbling" the implementation of his ObamaCare plan.

The launch of the reforms have been both a political and personal disaster for Mr Obama who has been accused of misleading the American public by repeatedly pledging that everyone who had already had health insurance would not be affected by ObamaCare.

However his oft-repeated campaign pledge – "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan" – has come back to bite Mr Obama as it emerged that millions of Americans were having their health care plans cancelled this month, contrary to his assurances. » | Peter Foster, US Editor | Thursday, November 14, 2013

ObamaCare Website Has Been Rolling Disaster

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Debut of HealthCare.gov, the website for ObamaCare, has been a major embarrassment for President Barack Obama

You can't afford to screw up your signature accomplishment. And yet that's what the Obama administration seems to have done with the botched launch of HealthCare.gov.

After all of the overheated debates, the midnight votes and Supreme Court skirmishes, the long-anticipated October 1 ObamaCare debut has been a rolling disaster. This is not partisan spin but a matter of consensus, from the president's supporters to his most obsessive critics.

The problem lies in a website that seems more brick and mortar than terabytes. – slow-moving, complicated and badly coded. This technological leviathan was developed in large part by a Canadian government contracting firm called CGI, apparently lacking the agility of the tech-savvy activists who drove President Barack Obama's two presidential campaigns into the history books.

At a cumulative cost of roughly $300 million (£185 million) taxpayer dollars, excuses ring hollow. But the problems seem to have stemmed from a combination of sclerotic procurement rules and civil service regulations that hamstrung the development process so much that even rank amateurs spending more than five minutes on the site now dismiss it as not ready for prime time. » | John Avlon | Saturday, October 26, 2013
