Ramesh refers below to his recommendations for a Republican Congress in a world where the Supreme Court rules in favor of the plaintiffs suing the IRS in Burwell v. King, which would prevent the agency from enforcing Obamacare mandates and supplying Obamacare subsidies in states without their own health exchanges.

Our domestic-policy intern this summer, Callie Gable, did a descriptive rather than prescriptive analysis of what might happen to public policy and insurance markets. She mentions that a Congress where both the GOP controls both houses (which, this summer, we didn’t know we’d get) might pass laws to move Obamacare in a more conservative direction to fix the problems created by a lack of subsidies. Ramesh suggests a bolder approach: A Republican Congress should use the opportunity to pass bills that would replace the unfixable law entirely.
