Supreme Court Upholds the ACA's Individual Mandate | Practical Law
On June 28, 2012, the US Supreme Court ruled on constitutional challenges to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA), collectively known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Court upheld the ACA's individual mandate as a valid exercise of Congress's power under the Taxing Clause, but limited the law's expansion of Medicaid.
