About the Program

On February 3, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of King v. Burwell, a challenge to the legality of the regulation authorizing premium tax credits in federally facilitated exchanges. What does this mean for the Affordable Care Act and consumers in these states? What should lawmakers be thinking about as we await the Court's opinion in this case?

RAND senior economist Christine Eibner discussed findings from two recent studies that examine:

  • What can be expected to happen to enrollment and premiums if the Supreme Court invalidates premium tax credits provided in states with federally facilitated exchanges;
  • The critical role that premium tax credits play in ensuring stability in the individual health insurance marketplace;
  • How the current structure of premium tax credits affects the mix of those enrolled in the exchanges established under the Affordable Care Act.
