Trillions at Stake in Health Law Case (Bill Toland) from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Highmark, UPMC Health Plan and the rest of the nation's insurers have a lot of money riding on the Supreme Court's review of the 2010 federal health care overhaul. How much? About $1.03 trillion over eight years, according to a new study by Bloomberg Government. That $1 trillion figure means "a little bit over a half a percent of [U.S. gross domestic product] is basically at stake with this court ruling," said Matt Barry, a Bloomberg Government health analyst and lead author on the study. "That's a big deal."
