Congress can fix ObamaCare, expert says

Health policy expert Jim Capretta tells The Hill it is “erroneous” to assume a “dysfunctional” Congress won’t pass a fix to ObamaCare should the Supreme Court upend the law in King v. Burwell.

“I could easily see a provision like that passing to get everybody through 2015, and maybe everybody through 2016 as well.”
