Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act upheld by US Supreme Court

June 29, 2012 by admin

In a landmark 5 to 4 decision, the US Supreme Court upheld the majority of President Obama’s signature health-care reform legislation, which was signed into law in March 2010. In the ruling delivered Thursday morning, the Supreme Court upheld the central and most controversial element of the law, the minimum coverage provision, popularly known as the “individual mandate.” It was ruled that the federal government may use its taxation authority to impose penalties on those who do not purchase insurance meeting minimum federal standards. Another less-discussed provision of the health-care reform law, the expansion of the Medicaid program, was also upheld. However, the federal government is limited in the penalty amount they can impose on states that choose not to expand their Medicaid program.

Stay tuned for commentary from Sleep Diagnosis and Therapy on how the health-care reform law will affect Sleep Medicine.
