The U.S. Supreme Court Decides the Constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act

Abstract

<p>In one of the most widely anticipated cases in judicial history, the United States Supreme Court on June 28, 2012 decided <em>National Federation of Independent Business et al. v</em>. <em>Sebelius</em><strong>1 </strong>which held the 2010 Act<strong>2 </strong>mostly constitutional. One of the major surprises was that Chief Justice John Roberts, a staunch conservative, wrote the majority opinion and joined the four liberal members of the court in upholding all but one part of the 2010 law.</p>
