Obamacare opponents should be careful what they wish for

Anyone who thinks such an outcome would usher in an era of a better functioning health insurance marketplace should read the amicus brief submitted by America’s Health Insurance Plans, the industry’s largest trade group.

AHIP’s brief supports the government, not the plaintiffs. It paints a picture not of a new heaven on earth if the Supreme Court decides against the government, but of a health insurance apocalypse. Not everywhere, though, ironically.

The marketplace meltdown would occur only in those 34 states, led primarily by Republican governors, like in Texas, that defaulted to the federal government to operate their health insurance exchanges.
