The Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide a lawsuit that threatens the Obama-era health care law, but the decision is not likely until after the 2020 election.
The court said it would hear an appeal by 20 mainly Democratic states of a lower-court ruling that declared part of the statute unconstitutional and cast a cloud over the rest.
Defenders of the Affordable Care Act argued that the issues raised by the case are too important to let the litigation drag on for months or years in lower courts and that the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans erred when it struck down the health law’s now toothless requirement that Americans have health insurance.

Americans don’t need or want a Nanny State.
So, arizona, do you think Americans want to file for bankruptcy if they get cancer? That was the American pre-Obamacare system.
huju, how much Democrats pay you to spread Fake News on a Jewish website forum?
So, azirona, do you have any pre-existing medical conditions? I do, and I am glad that Obamacare assures that I can get coverage.
Tell us, huju, do you think insurance companies should also be forced to sell you fire insurance when your house is already burning? Should they be forced to sell life insurance to an 80-year-old at the same rate they would charge a 20-year-old? You say you’re happy that this wicked law forces the companies to sell you insurance for an event that has already happened, but how is that right? Isn’t it daylight robbery? Don’t you feel guilty at taking advantage of it?
Huju, stop lying, filing for bankruptcy if one got cancer was NEVER the system. You are no doubt relying on Elizabeth Warren’s thoroughly discredited “research”, on which she built her whole fraudulent career, that purported to find that the majority of personal bankruptcies were caused by medical expenses, but that’s as false as everything else she has ever claimed. The actual number of bankruptcies that were caused by medical expenses was minuscule.
But if it does happen to someone, isn’t it right? Why is getting cancer different from any other foreseeable but expensive emergency? If you didn’t insure yourself against it before it happened, why should someone else be forced to foot the bill?
