Implications of the Fifth Circuit Court Decision in Texas v. United States


Texas v. United States challenges the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) given the elimination of the law’s individual mandate penalties. The Urban Institute analyzes the impact if the Supreme Court were to find the entire ACA unconstitutional. It estimates that nearly 20 million Americans would lose insurance coverage, including 3.8 million Californians.
