Of all the challenges since the individual mandate, this is the one that presents the most mortal threat to the act, Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, told TPM. At issue is whether the statute permits the federal exchange (which serves residents of 34 states which opted not to build their own) to dole out premium tax credits. Without the subsidies, which are benefiting millions of lower-income Americans, the individual mandate is unworkable because many people wont be able to afford insurance. And without the mandate, the coverage guarantee for preexisting conditions threatens to send costs soaring and destabilize the health care market.
