Obama’s Healthcare in the Supreme Court
On Thursday, The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear challenges to the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act which was signed by the president and passed by Congress back in March of last year. The hearing is tentatively scheduled but may be moved at the discretion of the justices. A recent count of states that have sued regarding this legislation is now up to twenty-six.
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
The aspect of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that has caused so much controversy is the provision in which all Americans will be legally required to be covered by insurance by the year 2014. The argument that is most brought up is that Congress is far exceeding their powers to regulate commerce with this mandate.
