Even if Chief Justice John Roberts joins with liberal colleagues to uphold the ACA—as he has done twice before—a new conservative appointment could threaten the future of the Obama-era health law

The vacancy on the Supreme Court after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has made the future of the Affordable Care Act one of the top issues in the 2020 campaign.

The high court is scheduled to hear a challenge to the ACA on Nov. 10, a week after Election Day. The court’s liberal minority is already down to three justices, so even if Chief Justice John Roberts joins with liberal colleagues to uphold the ACA—as he has done twice before—a new conservative appointment could threaten the future of the Obama-era health...

GOP may be able to defeat ACA, but finding a viable option without upsetting the healthcare lobby will be a bigger challenge.

By endangering healthcare, you are endangering senator’s Heath.

It’s not affordable but it’s the only health care coverage people with pre-existing health conditions can get besides catastrophic coverage.

Affordable? Lmfao

The family that prays together stays together. A household divided again itself cannot stand and great will be it's fall. We believe in one God. God bless and protect America.

Everything that Obama touched turned to crap and was a failure. ACA too.

Everyone knows why the Republicans want to confirm and the Democrats don't. Stop with all the phony reasons to justify one side or the other. It's about the election & how it effects their party. Period! End of Story!

Guessing there's no shortage of preexisting conditions among Trump supporters. They'll have no one to thank but themselves when it's gone.

YESSSSSSS !

He caved.

There is no plan other than to eliminate the pre existing conditions so the insurance companies can cancel your policies and spend even more money on those annoying T.V. ads. and that goes for those crazy drug ads that may cause fatal side effects . Universal healthcare works.

And what is the GOP health plan? Trump has repeatedly said he will roll it out 'in 2 weeks' like for 3 years already, and we have seen nothing.

once must have ins mandate gone, only ones on obama care are the ones who get it free

good ACA COST TO MUCH & UNCONSTITIONAL

Have you ever asked yourself why you have a comments section online? Its full of racism, bigotry and herbal hatred and is dominated by bots. For america's premier financial news organization, it looks more like a blog with comments

That's kind of the point...

Reminder: 4 Years & trump has done very little for health care in America. 4 years is a long time to be idle.

Good

I'm ready to get back to where I was before Obama spent years lying about everyone keeping their doctor/plan.

a 6-3 conservative court will overturn ACA, Roe, the Voting Rights Act, the Clean Water/Air Acts, the authority of federal agencies like the EPA to regulate, any climate legislation requiring taxation or the force of law

Which is all the more reason to elect Biden.

Good
