The Trump administration on Monday plans to ask a federal court for another 90-day delay in a lawsuit over Obamacare insurance subsidies, according to two administration sources, leaving the future of the health care marketplaces in limbo through late August.

The suit, House v. Tom Price, centers on Obamacare’s cost-sharing program, which reimburses health insurers to help low-income people make co-payments at the doctor or hospital.

The legal motion in a case that was filed by House Republicans during the Obama administration is expected to be filed later Monday.

1. To our federal courts:

Delays are unacceptable when people's very lives hang in the balance.

Force them to fund our healthcare system.

2. Another 90 days and 45* will have it in an unrecoverable mess anyway.
