Congressional Republicans Face King V. Burwell Conundrum

GOP lawmakers are now feeling health law heat as they wrestle with the challenge of what to do if the Supreme Court strikes down the overhaul's subsidies in states that use healthcare.gov. Party leaders are expected to brief the rank and file about possible plans and courses of action. And, in the meantime, the House is planning a set of health law repeal votes in advance of the decision.

Republicans who have been hoping that the Supreme Court will upend President Obama鈥檚 health care law are now confronting an urgent and uncomfortable question: What if they win? Republicans in Congress would face an enormously complicated challenge to fashion an alternative, and they fear the fallout could lead to election losses if millions of Americans abruptly found themselves without health insurance. (Pear, 6/17)

House and Senate Republican leaders are ready to tell GOP lawmakers about their proposals for responding to a Supreme Court decision that could abruptly halt federal health care subsidies for millions of people. With justices expected to rule imminently and possibly obliterate a pillar of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, each chamber's Republican leaders planned separate briefings Wednesday for their party's rank-and-file. (Fram, 6/16)

House Republicans are planning a strategic set of votes this week on two Obamacare repeal measures that could earn Democratic support ahead of a landmark Supreme Court decision on the health care law. With the votes, Republicans are trying to show they鈥檙e willing to work with Democrats on reforms to the health care system as they look to fight off criticism that they can鈥檛 agree on a plan to deal with the fallout of a Supreme Court decision wiping out insurance subsidies for millions of Americans. (Mershon, 6/16)
