FIGHT THE POWER: Supreme Court to hear ObamaCare subsidy challenge in March.
The highly anticipated case challenging ObamaCare’s subsidies will officially reach the Supreme Court on March 4.
Justices will hear arguments in King v. Burwell in just under three months, according to the court’s schedule posted Monday afternoon.
The case, led by conservative groups, questions whether the federal government can legally hand out healthcare subsidies in 34 states that have opted out of creating their own exchanges.
The plaintiffs of the case also released their opening brief on Monday, a 129-page document that lays out their case against the subsidies.
The court announced in November that it would take up the case, surprising many court-watchers and healthcare experts. Democrats, including the authors of ObamaCare, have come to the law’s defense.
Stay tuned.
