Fifth Circuit Affirms Ruling That ACA's Individual Mandate Is Unconstitutional, But Orders Do-Over of District Court's Severability Analysis | Practical Law
In a much-anticipated ruling, the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has affirmed a Texas district court's ruling from December 2018 that the Affordable Care Act's (ACA's) individual mandate is unconstitutional (Texas v. US, (5th Cir. Dec. 18, 2019)). However, regarding whether the individual mandate is severable from the rest of the ACA, the Fifth Circuit remanded to the district court for further analysis of the ACA's provisions as they currently exist.
