Arent Fox's Lowell Brown Comments on Supreme Court ACA Save in Law 360
Partner Lowell Brown, the leader of the Health Care Practice Group, was featured in a recent Law360 article, “Attorneys React To Supreme Court’s ACA Save.”
The US Supreme Court ruled that consumer subsidies can continue flowing through all of the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance marketplace, which will protect tax credits distributed to nearly 6.5 million consumers.
Regarding the ruling, Lowell remarked, “Health care lawyers are justifiably happy for our industry, because many of the individuals our provider clients serve would be unable to afford health insurance without the tax credits in question.
Even so, we all nod in agreement with the majority’s understated criticism that the ACA ‘contains more than a few examples of inartful drafting.’ Unless the politics surrounding the Act become less polarized, those drafting problems will endure, and the road to interpretation and implementation will remain very bumpy for years to come.”
