Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting major recession, the Trump Administration and 18 state attorneys general, continue to petition the Supreme Court ([link removed]) to strike down the entire Affordable Care Act (ACA).

If the lawsuit were to succeed, more than 20 million people lose health insurance, and millions more would face higher costs for health insurance or health care.

Oral arguments before the Supreme Court ([link removed]) are scheduled for November 10. As they approach, we have released new and updated materials ([link removed]) outlining the damage that would result from striking down the ACA.

While the legal arguments against the law are extremely weak, the threat to the ACA has likely grown with the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the President’s nomination of a judge who has been critical of the Supreme Court’s reasoning ([link removed]) for upholding the ACA in prior cases.

Striking down the ACA would impede efforts to address the public health crisis, and eliminating the ACA’s protections for people with pre-existing conditions ([link removed]) would make it harder for the more than 7 million people who’ve had COVID to obtain affordable, comprehensive care in the future.
