Americans who received tax credits through HealthCare.gov would face an average premium hike of 76 percent if the federal court ruling invalidating those subsidies were to stand, a recent analysis showed.
Avalere Health, an independent consulting firm, put out its analysis last week, with the following estimates of premium increases for individual states.

we need to get the kochsuckers outta health care and go to single payer
Let this ruling return to the supreme court on appeal. It is a perfect juxtaposition of the Court crafting a special exemption for the states and another lower court denying that wriggle room.
For those wet hens who complain about the process, single payer was not possible and these battles should at least convince you. Down the road, yes, but right now we are building this road.
Yeah! Then President Romney will really be able to get some things done after that happens.
This will be reversed when it is appealed to the full circuit. Republicans at least better hope so, because if not, you have 8 million highly motivated voters not inclined to vote for them
Throwing millions of people off their new-found health insurance on a technicality is not good politics… a reality the GOP is going to face.
