If the sides of the Supreme Court with applicants, most of the six million people will be looking for new - and affordable -. Cover 
In anticipation of the decision, GoHealth demolished the foundations of the case and described what is at stake for millions of Americans.
- More than 6 million in states using the federal exchange would losing their subsidized coverage .
- right now, these grants represent 1.7 billion $ per month .
- these individuals would face a increase in average premium of 287% , with the highest increases MS (650%), Alaska (520%), and the Utah (520%).
- The lower premium increases would occur in Arizona , but premiums would still increase on average 132%.
- The average monthly premium with subsidies in Alaska is currently $ 100 . If the court strikes down subsidies in this state, the average premium would go to $ 0
Remember :. If the rules of the Supreme Court in favor of the complainants, you can expect changes for everyone, not just those with subsidized coverage.
- premiums increase by an average of 43% for the individual market .
- in an estimated 8 million people would lose coverage because of exorbitant costs.
pending a decision, the subsidies could cease to exist from August And because individuals are not required to buy coverage if the cheapest plan in their area costs more than 8% of their income, many people become exempt from the individual mandate.
What are the possible outcomes? The Supreme Court may:
- Supports subsidies in the States at risk of losing
- rule in favor of the complainants and subsidies would be lost
If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the plaintiffs, which could happen next?
- -risk states could set up their own trade , but this long and complicated process may not be complete when Open Enrollment starts again on November 1.
- A bill could be adopted to cancel the decision.
- other measures could be taken, depending on the decision.
