The Supreme Court released its ruling in King v. Burwell, a case tied to the Affordable Care Act, today. The 6-3 ruling found tax credit subsidies, designed to help make health insurance more affordable, can be offered in all states, including those that use the federal exchange.

“The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was written to ensure that eligible individuals in all states have access to health care subsidies,” said Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, executive director and CEO of momsrising.org. “Today’s Supreme Court decision shows that the Court understands the intent and purpose of the law, and it saves millions of American families from losing their health insurance.

“The financial assistance provided under the ACA, which is the issue at the center of the King v. Burwell case, makes health coverage possible for millions of working Americans for the first time. MomsRising hears from our members across the country who say that thanks to the ACA subsidies, they are finally getting the health insurance that fits their family’s needs.”

“Today was a win for Congress and the American people, including more than a million older Americans who depend on the Affordable Care Act to access affordable health care,” wrote Leslie Fried, Senior Director of the National Council on Aging. “The National Council on Aging is pleased that the Supreme Court recognized that the intent of the ACA is for tax subsidies to extend to all Americans, regardless of which exchange they access for coverage.”

“Before implementation of the ACA, more than 1.6 million adults aged 55 to 65 were underinsured or uninsured. Many are vulnerable and suffer from chronic conditions that make it virtually impossible for them to find and afford coverage without the ACA and its premium tax credits,” continued Fried. ”Prior to the law, many suffered the indignity of not being able to afford care while struggling through unemployment or underemployment. Unable to scrape together the money to see a doctor or purchase prescriptions, these Americans end up costing Medicare more in their first years of enrollment.”

“The ACA institutes numerous delivery system reforms that help reduce the cost of health care and is a legitimate way to expand health care coverage to millions,” said Richard Fiesta, executive director of the Alliance for Retired. “It also offers free preventive care to seniors, helps them with their prescription drug costs by closing the “doughnut hole” gap in coverage, and extends the life of the Medicare Trust Fund by at least 12 years.

“The Alliance will continue to vigorously oppose  the legislative and judicial attacks that seek to destroy the important gains working Americans made through the ACA. Republican governors and legislatures that have blocked the ACA coverage expansions at every turn should change course and act to preserve their residents’ access to coverage.”

While many interest groups have spoken in favor of the ruling, there were those upset with the court’s decision. Gov. Mike Huckabee went to Twitter calling the ruling “judicial tyranny.” In a statement released later, Huckabee said, “The Supreme Court cannot legislate from the bench, ignore the Constitution, and pass a multi-trillion dollar ‘fix’ to ObamaCare simply because Congress misread what the states would actually do.”

“ObamaCare is fundamentally broken, increasing health care costs for millions of Americans. Today’s ruling doesn’t change that fact,” said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in a statement. “Republicans will continue to listen to American families and work to protect them from the consequences of ObamaCare.” Reports from various news sources indicate the GOP is hopeful that getting a Republican into the White House will afford an opportunity to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
