Poll: Voters Think OCare Only Gave Subsidies To State Exchanges
The legal battle over whether Obamacare subsidies can legally go to customers in federally-run exchanges may be ongoing, but voters are siding against the Obama administration, according to a Tuesday poll.
The Morning Consult poll pelted registered voters with a bevy of questions about the two top court cases arguing that Obamacare subsidies can only legally go to customers in the 14 state-run Obamacare exchanges. Off the bat, 57 percent of registered voters have heard “not much” or “nothing at all” about the appeals court ruling which found the subsidies illegal.
The case centers around the requirement that subsidies go to exchanges that are “established by a state.” Two lawsuits have reached federal appeals courts, arguing that this means customers in federally-run exchanges through HealthCare.gov can’t receive subsidies; one court ruled the federal exchange subsidies illegal in Halbig v. Burwell; the other ruled in favor of the Obama administration that the subsidies are just fine in King v. Burwell.
The poll gave voters a brief summary of the split on the issue and asked which side they believed had the law correct. While 54 percent still said either that they didn’t know, or frankly, didn’t care, slightly more respondents said they believed that subsidies weren’t meant to go to states that didn’t create exchanges.
