Election May Impact Healthcare Law More Than High Court
Politico (1/16, Haberkorn) reported that November's election will have a larger impact on President Obama's healthcare law than the Supreme Court. While the court is expected to issue a decision on the law at the end of its term, "most legal observers doubt that it will strike down the whole of the Affordable Care Act, even if it finds the mandate unconstitutional." Rather, most analysts "say that if the court strikes down anything, it would either get rid of the mandate alone or, at most, the mandate with some of the insurance industry reforms and regulations." Meanwhile, all of the Republican presidential candidates "are all on record as promising to scrap the whole thing." |
