Text of Oklahoma Federal District Court Opinion Disallowing Premium Subsidies for Health Insurance Purchased Through Federally-Facilitated Marketplace (PDF)
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma Sept. 30, 2014
"Under 42 U.S.C. 18024(d), 'State' cannot mean the federal government. This definition is dispositive when combined with the interpretive hurdle presented by the phrase 'established by.' In other words, the 'legal fiction' reading does not appear to comport with normal English usage ... At the first step of the Chevron analysis, the court asks 'whether Congress has directly spoken to the precise question at issue' ... On this particular 'precise question,' however, case law does not provide 'wiggle room' for finding ambiguity. This is because tax credits must be expressed in 'clear and unambiguous language.'" [Oklahoma ex rel. Pruitt v. Burwell, No. CIV-11-30-RAW (E.D. Okla. Sept. 30, 2014)]
