The U.S. Supreme Court today agreed to hear a new challenge to President Barack Obama's health care law, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reports. The justices said they will decide whether the law allows subsidies to be given to millions of low- and middle-income people regardless of whether they live in states that set up their own exchanges or are relying on the federal exchange. A federal appeals court upheld IRS regulations that allow subsidies for consumers in all 50 states. Opponents, however, argue the law limits the assistance to those in state-run exchanges.
