re: 18 States Sue to Challenge Loss of Subsidies

I know it's a crazy idea, but hear me out. If the insurance companies aren't required to cover people that can't afford their premiums, then that means that they can lower the premiums for the people that work to pay for their insurance. If the government isn't subsidizing the insurance of people that don't work to cover their own premiums, then we do not need to be taxed as much

And when those people who can’t afford insurance get sick and end up in the ER, what happens?

Setting aside that the government already subsidizes pretty much every healthcare market in some way, be it the employer healthcare tax credit to Medicare.
