KING DECISION IS APPROACHING
The Supreme Court is set to release its opinion in King v. Burwell and the NDNRC is continuing to add more information about the potential fallout of that decision. Last week, we reported on an analysis which was done on the potential impact of King (click here for last week’s news item). Now Families USA has begun to release state-by-state breakdowns of how consumers would be affected and even gives the breakdown by Congressional district.
