Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal against the cantonal decision on individual premium subsidies was admissible
Extracted holding
The appeal was not admissible because the decision had to be challenged before the Cantonal Administrative Court of St. Gallen, not directly before the Federal Supreme Court.
Extracted reasoning
The Court examined admissibility ex officio and held that the contested decision concerned a matter that, under cantonal procedural law, could be appealed to the cantonal administrative court. Since a direct appeal to the Federal Supreme Court was therefore not the proper remedy, the filing was not admissible.
