HCFA Conference Call on Supreme Court Decision on ACA & What it Means for MA

When the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act, I think it’s safe to say most of us in this community rejoiced. We knew what was at stake: whether millions of people would get access to health insurance, or whether we’d walk away from that promise. We are proud to say that Health Care For All and our partners at Health Law Advocates were a part of the decision — we were even cited by Justice Ginsburg in her opinion! (For the law geeks out there I’ll post Ginsburg’s footnote in the comments section if there’s interest.)

Since that decision was made, you’ve no doubt heard pundits talk about what it means politically — and probably heard a lot of misinformation about what the Affordable Care Act actually does.
