WASHINGTON — A court decision eliminating government subsidies in the federally run insurance marketplaces could be a dream come true for conservative opponents of the health care law — or it could prove a nightmare.

On the surface, eliminating the subsidies would deal a huge blow to the health care law that Republicans have been fighting from the start.

But it also could prompt more states to set up their own marketplaces in order to help residents retain their subsidized coverage, a step that would further cement the law into place.

That prospect has GOP lawmakers talking about the need for some kind of temporary safety net for the millions at risk of losing coverage — a possible outcome of the case that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear next week and is expected to rule on by June.
