What the Supreme Court ruling on health care reform means for you
On June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (health care reform) enacted in 2010.
The case before the Supreme Court challenged the legality of the individual mandate — the requirement that most Americans must have health insurance. Other issues presented to the Court included whether the individual mandate, if it’s found to be unconstitutional, can be “severed” from the health care reform law without affecting other parts of the law; and the measures that expand Medicaid.
