Supreme Court justices lean toward insurers on $12 billion Obamacare claims
WASHINGTON - U.S. Supreme Court justices on Tuesday appeared sympathetic to claims made by health insurers seeking $12 billion from the federal government under a program set up by the Obamacare law aimed at encouraging them to offer medical coverage to previously uninsured Americans.
The justices considered a challenge by a group of insurers of a lower court’s ruling that Congress had suspended the government’s obligation to make such payments. The insurers have said that ruling constituted a “bait-and-switch” that would enable the government to withhold money the companies were promised.
“Why doesn’t the government have to pay its contracts just like everybody else?” said Justice Stephen Breyer. The law, dubbed Obamacare, has enabled millions of Americans who previously had no medical coverage to obtain insurance, including those with pre-existing medical conditions.
