On April 27, the Supreme Court announced in an 8-to-1 decision that the federal government had improperly withheld over $12 billion owed insurers in the individual and small-group markets under the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) risk-corridor program for 2014–2016. The decision sends an important message: the government must honor its obligations. Payments will now be made to those insurers but the effect will be very different from what it would have been had the claims been paid on time.
