Republicans seek court delay in ObamaCare payment case


Republicans are seeking another 90-day extension in a federal court case centered on insurer payments under ObamaCare, as congressional lawmakers and the Trump administration consider a broader legislative package to replace the existing law. The suit originally was filed by House Republicans during the Obama administration. A lower court ruled that the government lacks constitutional authority to make the payments because Congress failed to specifically approve them. “We continue to work with the Trump administration on a solution,” said AshLee Strong, spokeswoman for House Speaker Paul Ryan. “At a critical period when insurers are deciding premiums for next year, Republicans are pouring uncertainty into the health insurance marketplaces,” she said.
