Supreme Court Upholds Landmark Federal Health Care Legislation
July 2, 2012
In a high-profile test of the Supreme Court's approach to constitutional limits on Congressional power, the Court has upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the "Act"), the sweeping federal overhaul of the nation's health insurance system. See National Federation of Independent Business v. Sibelius (June 28, 2012). The decision clears the way for major changes in the health care industry. And it may be as significant for the balance of power in our federal system as for its impact on health care in America.
