Harvard beats Trump as judge orders US to restore $2.6 billion in funding

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore $2.6 billion in funding that was previously cut from the Affordable Care Act's risk adjustment program. The ruling found that the Trump administration had acted unlawfully in halting the payments, which are designed to help stabilize insurance markets. The judge, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, criticized the Supreme Court for being "unhelpful" in providing guidance on the issue. The decision is a victory for Harvard University, which had filed a lawsuit challenging the funding cuts. The risk adjustment program is a key component of the Affordable Care Act, and the judge's ruling is seen as a significant setback for the Trump administration's efforts to undermine the healthcare law. The decision is likely to have far-reaching implications for the insurance industry and millions of Americans who rely on the Affordable Care Act for their healthcare coverage.
