Modern Healthcare: Health insurers' battle over billions of dollars in unpaid risk-corridor payments is far from over, despite a federal appeals court ruling on Thursday that the U.S. government does not have to open its wallet.

The ruling is a blow to insurers who have filed three dozen lawsuits over the risk-corridor program, including a class action involving 150 insurers.
