2013 Ruling

The 2013 Ruling, likely referring to a legal decision from that year, involved the Supreme Court's affirmation of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). The Court upheld the law's individual mandate, which requires people to have health insurance or pay a penalty. It also determined that most of the law’s Medicaid expansion was constitutional, allowing states to choose whether to participate. This ruling reinforced the federal government’s ability to regulate health insurance and expand access, significantly shaping U.S. healthcare policy by maintaining provisions aimed at increasing coverage and affordability for Americans.
