The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal case on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare, that could potentially invalidate the entire law.
On Dec. 15, 2018, a Texas judge ruled that Obamacare’s individual mandate was unconstitutional. Judge Reed O’Connor agreed with the plaintiffs who argued that the lack of a penalty invalidated the “individual mandate” provision of the law, and if that part of the law was now invalid, then the whole law was.
Democratic states and the House of Representatives appealed the decision, and the case made it all the way up to the Supreme Court in a case titled California v. Texas. The court has not yet scheduled oral arguments, but a decision is expected close to the end of its 2021 term. If the conservative-majority justices find the individual mandate unconstitutional, that could mean all of the ACA is unconstitutional. [Story Continues]
Well, better late than never. I'm shocked it took this long for the Constitutionality of ACA/Obama Care to make it to SCOTUS.
Cross your fingers.
