Federal Appeals Court Ruled Against ACA

++The case that George Will cheered on has ended. By a vote of 2-1, the D.C. Federal Appeals Court ruled 2 to 1 that those who enrolled on the national exchange should not get subsidies, only the state exchanges. The decision was decided by two Republican judges. The case was brought by the Cato Institute and other conservative groups. As this blog noted, the government should move to an en banc decision, bringing the whole Appeals Court to decide it . The decision, if left standing, would affect over 5 million people.

++Meanwhile,a federal judge threw out the case brought by Senator Johnson against ACA because he had no standing. This case really is relevant to John Boehner's suit against the President and the issue of standing.
