Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to ACA

Legislative Alert

1 minute read

Last December, a federal appeals court ruled that the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) individual mandate is unconstitutional due to the removal of the individual mandate penalty in 2019. The appeals court passed the case onto the lower court to make a determination. Several states and the House of Representatives wanted the Supreme Court to take up the case before the court made a ruling, but the Supreme Court declined to fast track their appeal.

The Supreme Court will now review the case in the fall with a decision to be issued in the spring or summer of 2021. The court changed their mind due to the argument that the lower court rulings create uncertainty about the ACA’s future.

Existing ACA provisions will continue to be applicable and enforced during this time. Download the bulletin for more details.
