The U.S. Supreme Court released their ruling in favor of Sec. Burwell in the recent federal lawsuit challenging the U.S. Treasury regulation.

Therefore, the approximately 78,000 Kansans who are eligible to receive federal subsidies when purchasing insurance through the federal exchange may continue to do so.
