. . HEALTH CARE REFORM : MEDICAL INSURANCE : HEALTH INSURANCE: 5 Things To Know About The Latest Supreme Court Challenge To Health Law . . 5 Things To Know About The Latest Supreme Court Challenge To Health Law February 27, 2015 9:09 AM ET Partner content from Kaiser Health News Julie Rovner NPR http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2015/02/27/389283469/ 5-things-to-know-about-the-latest-supreme-court-challenge-to-health-law . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/ojrewdl . . The Affordable Care Act is once again before the Supreme Court. . On March 4, the justices will hear oral arguments in King v. Burwell, a case challenging the validity of tax subsidies helping millions of Americans buy health insurance if they don't get coverage through an employer or the government. If the court rules against the Obama administration, those subsidies could be cut off for everyone in the three dozen states using HealthCare.gov, the federal exchange website. A decision is expected by the end of June. . Here are five things you should know about the case and its potential consequences: . 1) This case doesn't challenge the constitutionality of the health law. . snip . 2) If the court rules against the Obama administration, millions of people could be forced to give up their insurance. . snip . 3) A ruling against the Obama administration could have other effects. . Disallowing the subsidies in the federal exchange states could destabilize the entire individual insurance market, not just the exchanges in those states. Anticipating that only those most likely to need medical services will hold onto their plans, insurers would likely increase premiums for everyone in the state who buys their own insurance, no matter where they buy it from. . snip . 4) Consumers could lose subsidies almost immediately. . snip . 5) Congress could make the entire issue go away by passing a one-page bill. But it won't. . All Congress would have to do to restore the subsidies is pass a bill striking the line about subsidies being available through exchanges "established by the state." But given how many Republicans oppose the law, leaders have already said they won't act to fix it. Republicans are still working to come up with a contingency plan should the ruling go against the subsidies. Even that will be difficult given their continuing ideological divides over health care. . States could solve the problem by setting up their own exchanges, but that is a lengthy and complicated process and in most cases requires the consent of state legislatures. . .
