The Supreme Court announced today the oral argument calendar for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) challenge. The entire week of March 26 has been scheduled for the 5 ½ hours of ACA oral arguments.
On Monday, March 26, the Supreme Court will focus on whether the challenges to the individual mandate are barred by the federal Anti-Injunction Act. On Tuesday, March 27, oral arguments will center on the constitutionality of the insurance mandate in the ACA. Finally, on Wednesday, March 28, the oral arguments will address both whether the ACA can survive if the individual mandate is found unconstitutional as well as the constitutionality of the ACA Medicaid expansion.
A review of the ACA challenges is available here. The Health Law team at von Briesen will continue to monitor and report on the progress of the ACA challenge, including the Supreme Court’s decision, which is expected late in by July 2012.
