ATTORNEY GENERAL PATRICK MORRISEY ISSUES STATEMENT ON APPELLATE COURT DECISION TO STRIKE DOWN PORTION OF OBAMACARE CHARLESTON—Attorney General Patrick Morrisey issued the following statement today regarding an appellate court’s ruling in the case Halbig v. Burwell, which challenged the legality of offering subsidies to people who purchased insurance through federally run exchanges: “Today’s decision is yet another rejection of the Obama Administration’s flawed interpretation of the new health care law. I always have supported providing extra financial assistance to those who need it most, but the President can’t simply ignore the will of Congress and reinterpret the law as he sees fit. In this case, the President used the IRS to disregard part of the law. Regardless of whether you like a law or not, the President and his Administration cannot decide on their own which portions of laws should be adhered to and which should be overlooked. If the law needs to be changed, that is a job for Congress.” bit.ly/1rHaSzY
