This Oct. 3, 2014 photo shows the Supreme Court in Washington, Friday, Oct. 3, 2014. The Supreme Court agreed Friday, Nov. 7, 2014, to hear a new challenge to President Barack Obama's health care law that threatens subsidies that help millions of low- and middle-income people afford their health insurance premiums. The justices said they will review a unanimous federal appeals court ruling that upheld Internal Revenue Service regulations that allow health-insurance tax credits under the Affordable Care Act for consumers in all 50 states. Opponents argue that most of the subsidies are illegal. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)newsandtalking.blogspot.com
More than possible computer woes lurk as HealthCare.gov's second open enrollment season begins this coming Saturday.
There's a bright look to the rebuilt website, so version 2.0 of President Barack Obama's health insurance overhaul represents another chance to win over a skeptical public.
But the risks include an unproven system for those renewing coverage and a tax hit that could sting millions of people.
Those tax issues are the result of complications between the health care law and income taxes, and they will emerge during next year's filing season.
The Obama administration cannot afford a repeat of last year's online meltdown. Congress will be entirely in Republican hands, and GOP lawmakers will be itching to build the case for repeal.
