Ron Pollack.

It’s been five years since the Affordable Care Act was passed, and the law is still as contentious as ever. The Supreme Court recently heard arguments in King v. Burwell, a case challenging the distribution of Obamacare subsidies. 

This hour, we find out how the outcome of that case could impact millions of Americans insured through the federal exchange.

A little later, we also get an update on some of the latest healthcare news in Connecticut.
