Via @NYTimes: A transformed Supreme Court, with a six-justice conservative majority, will hear arguments on Tuesday morning in the California v. Texas case, the third major challenge to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/us/supreme-court-obamacare-aca.html …
Brought by a group of Republican attorneys general, the California v. Texas case argues that the ACA's individual mandate is unconstitutional, and that means the whole law must fall. (The individual mandate is a penalty people had to pay if they didn't have insurance.)
As @Shefalil has reported, prior to the ACA's passage, health insurance plans could charge higher premiums based on someone’s gender, and charged more based on people’s medical history.https://bit.ly/2RPb0BB
The ACA is also the reason insurance plans must cover pregnancy-related medical services, contraception without cost-sharing and mental health care.
Cis women + trans people have higher rates of anxiety and depression, and are more likely to forego medication due to cost.
The ACA was also the first law to establish protections against sex and gender discrimination in health care, protections the Trump administration has already attempted to walk back.https://bit.ly/2RPb0BB
Via @sciam: If the ACA is struck down, 20 million people would lose their insurance.
If it is partially struck down, up to 129 million could lose protections for preexisting conditions — including the more than eight million who have had COVID-19.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/upcoming-supreme-court-ruling-could-jeopardize-health-insurance-for-people-with-covid/ …
