A federal appeals court in New Orleans has ruled against one part of the Affordable Care Act — but in a narrow ruling that does not, for now, overturn other parts of the sweeping 2010 healthcare law.
A federal appeals court in New Orleans ruled against part of the Affordable Care Act on Wednesday — providing a limited victory for President Trump and his Republican allies but not overturning most parts of the sweeping 2010 healthcare law.
Republican state attorneys general from Texas and 17 other conservative-leaning states brought the latest court challenge to the healthcare law, and theDemocrats have made the administration’s embrace of the lawsuit a major plank of their push to defeat the president and other Republicans, who have not detailed how they would replace lost health protections if the healthcare law were scrapped.
California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra said he would ask the Supreme Court to take up the case without waiting for further proceedings in order to “get clarity and certainty” on the healthcare law.Trump issued a statement calling the ruling a “win,” but also noted that it “will not alter the current healthcare system.”
The coverage requirement and the penalty were once considered integral parts of the healthcare law. At the time the law passed, insurers, state regulators and other experts believed that unless there was a penalty for going uninsured, younger and healthier people would not buy health plans until they got sick, leading insurance markets to collapse.
