“The
Ruling That Would Gut Obamacare Is an Amazing Advertisement for Obamacare.”
Slate article by Jordan Weissmann.
The article quotes from the D.C. Circuit Court on how a plaintiff established
standing:
“The district court determined that at least one of the
appellants, David Klemencic, has standing. Klemencic resides in West Virginia,
a state that did not establish its own Exchange, and expects to earn
approximately $20,000 this year. He avers that he does not wish to purchase
health insurance and that, but for federal credits, he would be exempt from the
individual mandate because the unsubsidized cost of coverage would exceed eight
percent of his income. The availability of credits on West Virginia’s federal
Exchange therefore confronts Klemencic with a choice he’d rather avoid:
purchase health insurance at a subsidized cost of less than $21 per year or pay
a somewhat greater tax penalty.”
