So as cons obediently cheered anything they see as hurting Obamacare, as they obediently ignored the people their policies hurt, it looks like insurers will get their money anyway.
"Health plans that get stiffed can therefore sue the federal government for the cost-sharing reductions," Bagley writes. Once the lawsuits are filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, "winning those cases should be easy: the plans will just have to show that they’re owed money under the ACA. And here’s the kicker: Congress has permanently appropriated the money to pay court judgments, even if it hasn’t appropriated money for the cost-sharing reductions. The right question isn’t whether health plans will get paid. It’s when." (Emphasis in the original.)

Seems like they'll get their money. We just need a couple of conservatives to post "no way will they get their money" to know for sure.
