U.S. Chamber files amicus brief challenging Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
October 25, 2011
NCLC urged the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), if the Supreme Court rules that the individual mandate is unconstitutional. According to NCLC's amicus brief, the individual mandate is a central component of the PPACA; without the mandate, the Act cannot possibly function as designed. The amicus brief does not address the constitutionality of the individual mandate. The brief explains that if the PPACA’s remaining insurance reforms are left to stand without the individual mandate, it will wreak havoc on the health insurance market.
Cert. petition filed 9/28/2011. NCLC amicus brief filed 10/25/11. Cert. granted 11/14/11, in tandem with Florida v. HHS (No. 11-400) and NFIB v. Sebelius (No. 11-393). Oral argument 3/26/12. Judgement issued 7/30/12.
