The issue is whether Obamacare can survive after a judge struck down the individual mandate, which required people to buy insurance.
WASHINGTON – A coalition of Democratic state attorneys general said Thursday they may ask the Supreme Court to save the Affordable Care Act – again.
As a result, Becerra and other Democrats fighting to save President Barack Obama's top domestic policy achievement said the Supreme Court should save the Affordable Care Act – something the justices did in 2012 and again in 2015. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel acknowledged that the high court might prefer to let the case percolate in district and appellate courts. The justices already face a high-powered docket on issues such as abortion, immigration, gay rights and gun rights.
Story continuesNessel said it is"more likely that they will allow the case to go back down to the district court." Becerra agreed it is “late in the season for the court to be accepting cases" for its current term, which ends in June. Last December, federal District Judge Reed O'Connor ruled that without the tax, the law could not survive. His ruling was put on hold while it was appealed, but it threatened to wipe out insurance for 20 million people, protection for people with preexisting conditions, subsidies for low-income people, Medicaid expansions in many states, coverage for young adults up to age 26 and more.
