States Suing Trump To Get ‘Unconstitutional’ Obamacare Subsidy Money

JD Thu, 10/19/2017 - 10:20

States are so upset with President Donald Trump for cutting off Obamacare subsidy payments that they are trying to coax a federal judge to force the administration to keep paying them out.

Some 18 states and the District of Columbia are asking for the federal court in California to order the administration to fund Obamacare subsidies, also known as cost-sharing reductions (CSRs), Axios reports. The move would be in addition to a lawsuit the states filed last week to stop Trump from halting the payments.

The Trump administration announced last week that it will no longer fund Obamacare subsidies. The federal government was slated to pay out around $7 billion in CSRs in 2017.
