Circuit Court of Appeals to Re-Hear ACA Subsidy Case

In "D.C. Circuit grants en banc rehearing in Halbig v. Burwell", the Washington Post reports that:

"[T]he U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit granted rehearing en banc in Halbig v. Burwell, one of four cases challenging the lawfulness of an IRS rule authorizing tax credits and cost-sharing subsidies for the purchase of health insurance in federal exchanges.
