Judge rejects bid by 18 states to revive Obamacare subsidies
« on: October 26, 2017, 05:33:40 pm »

A U.S. judge on Wednesday refused to block President Donald Trump's decision to end subsidy payments to health insurers under Obamacare, handing Trump a victory against Democratic attorneys general who have regularly challenged the president's policies in court.

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria in San Francisco said the federal government did not have to make the payments while litigation over the subsidies unfolds.

Chhabria, appointed by former Democratic President Barack Obama, wrote that although the case appeared to be a close call, "it appears initially that the Trump administration has the stronger legal argument."

The Trump administration this month terminated the payments to the insurers, which help cover medical expenses for low-income Americans, as part of several moves to dismantle Obama's signature healthcare law formally known as the Affordable Care Act.

Democratic attorneys general have repeatedly opposed Trump in court this year over immigration, the environment and healthcare.

Yahoo had this as one of their headline stories.

Where to go, Yahoo, what to do?

The Hollywood culture imploding under our eyes.

Hillary about to be throw in the clinker.

So, they had to do a story entitled, Trump wins one.

I know.  That's what amazed me about the story.

Astounding!
An obama-appointed judge who actually weighs both sides of the issue and then writes a reasoned opinion!
