| | | | | | BREAKING: SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS INDIVIDUAL MANDATE Advertisement
The Supreme Court just announced that it has ruled the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate provision constitutional, upholding the key provision of Obama administration's signature healthcare legislation. The ruling is complicated, but SCOTUS blog pars it down: The bottom line: the entire ACA is upheld, with the exception that the federal government's power to terminate states' Medicaid funds is narrowly read. Amy Howe, of SCOTUS blog, writes that the "court reinforces that individuals can simply refuse to pay the tax and not comply with the mandate." According to the blog, Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the decisive votes, siding with the court's more liberal judges to vote in favor of the law's constitutionality. Justice Kennedy, often considered the swing vote, sided with the minority.
