Krauthammer: ObamaCare Language Is ‘Not Ambiguous at All’

‘It is not in the power of the executive to fix what’s written in the legislation’

Krauthammer’s Take: ACA Language Is ‘Not Ambiguous At All’ (National Review Online)

Charles Krauthammer believes that the language in the Affordable Care Act saying that subsidies are to be provided through state exchanges is unambiguous.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the way the law was written does not allow subsidies to be provided by the federal government.

The language is “not ambiguous at all,” Krauthammer said on Tuesday’s Special Report. But the claim of the government, he explained, is that “it was a drafting error, and what we really intended was it should be for everyone.”
