Obamacare Mandate Upheld, Medicaid Expansion “Limited”
The venerable Lyle Denniston from the website SCOTUSblog reports that the Supreme Court has upheld the individual mandate as a tax – and that the Medicaid expansion was “limited but not invalidated,” as “the federal government’s power to terminate states’ Medicaid funds is narrowly read.” The ruling can be found online here (loading times are VERY slow).
We will of course provide further updates and analysis as soon as possible. However, the rulings and opinions are lengthy and will take time to digest, so please bear that in mind – patience is appreciated!
