This is interesting. Oklahoma has taken the Obama administration to court because they are violating the Obamcare law. In short, the Oklahoma AG argues that in states that opted not to create a health exchange, the employer mandate penalty cannot be assessed in those states. He says it is written that way in the law itself. But the IRS last year adopted a rule and said that they will assess the penalty even if the states don’t create a health care exchange, and that’s what Oklahoma is challenging. They are saying it violates the law and they’ve just won their first battle in court, a ruling that allows them to proceed with this fight because they have the standing to do so.
I’m crossing my fingers but I’m not going to hold my breath.
