GrokTV: interview with Bill O’Brien – Q2 What happens if the Supremes rule against IRS subsidy rule?

The next question was on Obamacare – specifically the pending doom that that the US Supreme Court may deal to the IRS for writing its Obamacare tax subsidy rule directly counter to what the plain text of the Obamacare law states (tax subsidies are only to be given through State Obamacare Exchanges and not Federal ones):

Question 2:

NH Has no state exchange. If the Supreme court strikes down Federal assistance for plans on the Federal exchange, is there a chance we can we legislate our way to a more open market with buffet plans–to get those trapped by the Affordable care acts sloppy language into some truely affordable coverage, (as well as offer relief and alternatives for others whose rates became unaffordable under the affordable care act?).

After the jump, I had yet another followup on the first question concerning Right To Know problems; previous question links as well.

Follow up #2 for Question 1:

Normally fines & penalties paid to wrong citizens are paid by the agencies from tax monies. More of an incentive to comply by stripping qualified indemnity and forcing guilty government workers to pay such out of their personal pockets?

 Previous questions:

  • Question 1 – :Compliance continues to be an issue but costs are the biggest barrier in my mind. Many people can’t even afford to obtain copies of public records because the fees are too high. What can the legislature do to make public documents accessible to people of all income brackets?
  • Question 1A – RTKs by citizens are often met with hostilities and delays by public servants – is a remedy one that would hold them personally responsible (stripping away qualified immunity in egregious cases) for any penalties (fines and judgements)?
