Akin Gump Supreme Court and appellate co-head Pratik Shah was quoted by The Wall Street Journal for its article “Major Blue Insurer to Get Nearly $2 Billion in ACA Payouts, Report Says,” on an 8-1 U.S. Supreme Court decision that says that the federal government has to pay insurers under a program that encouraged them to offer plans under the Affordable Care Act’s exchanges.

According to the article, the matter now goes back to lower courts, which will decide how to proceed. Shah said payment could begin in as soon as a couple of months, but could be longer.
