NBC justice correspondent Pete Williams told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell that an upcoming Supreme Court case was a “significant attack” on Obamacare that would “seriously undercut” the law. (RELATED: Supreme Court Takes Up Potentially Disastrous Obamacare Case)
Williams appeared on “Andrea Mitchell Reports” to report on the news that the Supreme Court had agreed to hear a legal challenge against Obamacare. Opponents of Obamacare argue that the language of the law only empowers the federal government to grant subsidies for health insurance bought on state exchanges– not federal exchanges, as the administration claims.
“This is a significant attack on the health care law if the opponents are successful,” Williams said, “It would seriously undercut this law and make it applicable to far fewer people and make health insurance much more expensive and the stakes are very high.”
