“This should be an easy case, frankly it shouldn't have even been taken up. There is no reason why the existing exchanges should be overturned through a court case,” Obama said at a press conference at the G7 summit in Germany.
Should Obama administration lose the case, the subsidies in 34 states, which do not have their own insurance exchanges will be cancelled, leaving some 6.3 million citizens without financial aid for medical insurance from federal exchanges that they currently receive to afford Obamacare, according to US media reports.
Obama stated Monday that the authors of the ACA never had an intention to bar individuals on federal exchanges from receiving the subsidies.
Obama signed Affordable Care Act into law on March 23, 2010 in a bid to make healthcare in the country more affordable.
