Plaintiff Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative claims that Defendant United States has not made cost-sharing reduction payments on a timely and periodic basis for the 2019 benefit year to which it and other QHP issuers are entitled under the Affordable Care Act. Beginning in 2014, the United States began making these cost-sharing reduction payments, but then ceased paying them in 2017 and continues to not pay them.
