Anesthesia Management: Federal judge rules against ACA subsidies

by Leave a Comment

A federal judge in Oklahoma today ruled that Affordable Care Act federal subsidies cannot be issued to residents living in states that do not run their own exchanges.

This marks the second ruling against ACA subsidies–in the July case of Halbig v. Burwell, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that subsidies are illegal on federal exchanges. A few hours later on that same day, in the case of King v. Burwell, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, ruled that state- and federal-run exchanges can provide subsidies.

Judge Ronald A. White, who issued the ruling, said that federal subsidies do not align with the healthcare reform law.

“The administration and its bureaucrats in the IRS handed out billions in illegal tax credits and subsidies and vastly expanded the reach of the healthcare law because they didn’t like the way Congress wrote the Affordable Care Act,” White said at the ruling, according to Politico. “That’s not how our system of government works.”

The Obama administration is expected to appeal this ruling to the 10th Circuit.

“Before AE took over the anesthesia department was described by the surgeons as the worst in the history of our hospital. The prior management company was having a cancelled surgery per day. I am happy to report there has not been one since they have taken over the department. Additionally we have seen a 905 reduction if requested preop
lab tests. The anesthesia department is now the very best hospital department in our entire facility.”

“Even though they are physically located 1000 miles away Anesthesia Experts just does not provide great anesthesia coverage they personally engage surgeons to increase their business. Last year my surgical volume rose by 24% and we are currently 50% ahead of last year and all of that growth is organic.”
