3. King v Burwell
§36 of Affordable Care Act authorizes tax credits if an individual enrolls in an insurance plan through an “Exchange established by the State…”
Can there be subsidies for exchanges established by the federal government?
Textualist approach
Plain meaning – no
Meaning in context of rest of statute – yes
Part of statute USC 18091(2)(I) – states the act has goal of preventing adverse selection
So yes
Purposivist approach
Clearly yes
Intentionalist approach
Probably yes, but neither Scalia nor Roberts wants to cite legislative history
Pragmatic approach
Yes
Tricky position of Justice Roberts
Probably disliked Act
But did not want Court to divide ideologically in eviscerating signature achievement of Democratic President
