Supreme Court agrees to consider Obamacare’s constitutionality for third time

This appeared in The Millennial Source

On March 2, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that could result in the repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or Obamacare as it is more commonly known.

The case is the result of a lawsuit supported by President Donald Trump and the Justice Department. This will be the third time the Supreme Court has ruled on the constitutionality of the Obama-era law.

Though the case isn’t likely to be decided before the 2020 presidential election, it could still play a role in the campaign.

In recent years, popular opinion on the law has been mostly positive.

Obamacare faces repeal for the third time

The Supreme Court’s decision earlier this month to hear a third case related to the ACA provides yet another opportunity for the law to be repealed entirely.

In 2019, a New Orleans federal appeals court ruled that the individual mandate, which requires citizens to have insurance or pay a fee, is unconstitutional.
