Wisconsin has more at stake than most states, according to federal figures released early this month. Of the state's 183,155 residents who get insurance on the exchange, 166,142 -- 90.7 percent -- receive subsidies, compared to the national average of 85 percent.
The average subsidy in Wisconsin is $315 a month, compared to the national average of $272.
One reason Wisconsin is especially dependent on the federal exchange is because Gov. Scott Walker and the Legislature lowered the income level to qualify for BadgerCare, which eliminated state coverage for about 63,000 adults.
The Supreme Court will decide if the government can keep giving subsidies to middle- and low-income people in 34 states that use the federal exchange, at healthcare.gov.
