              People who could lose their health insurance

  Of the 23 million people who either buy health insurance through the 
marketplaces set up by the law (roughly 11 million) or receive coverage 
through the expansion of Medicaid (12 million), about 21 million are at 
serious risk of becoming uninsured if Obamacare is struck down. That 
includes more than nine million who receive federal subsidies.
  On average, the subsidies cover $492 of a $576 monthly premium this 
year, according to a report from the Department of Health and Human 
Services. If the marketplaces and subsidies go away, a comprehensive 
health plan would become unaffordable for most of those people and many 
of them would become uninsured.
  States could not possibly replace the full amount of federal 
subsidies with state funds.
