“the best evidence of Congress's intent is the statutory text”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“The existence of Dr. Hotze's alleged injury rests on ... a third-party decision: Dr. Hotze will be injured by the individual mandate, the plaintiffs say, because, once the employer mandate takes effect, Braidwood may offer him less desirable insurance, which may prompt him to drop his employer-provided insurance, which he will not be able to do without violating the individual mandate. Speculation about a decision made by a third party ... constitutes an essential link in this chain of causation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“Given the complaint's allegation that Dr. Hotze has an employer-provided health-insurance plan, coupled with the complaint's failure to allege that this plan falls into the narrow category of employer-provided plans that do not constitute 'minimum essential coverage' under § 5000A, we cannot 'reasonably ... infer[ ]' that Dr. Hotze lacks the minimum essential coverage required by the mandate.”
