The Supreme Court Should Be Deciding Soon
Obama passed the health reform over two years ago. However, it has not gone without its share of debate. Many states, in fact 26 states, have said that some parts of the health reform are unconstitutional. The states have taken the law to the Supreme Court and are trying to strike it down.
The decision should be made sometime in June and many are waiting for the result. The experts say that there is a 36% percent chance the individual mandate will be thrown out. If this happens, it could have major effect on everything else. For one, what will it mean for the exchanges that each state has to have running by 2014. Each state, however, does have the authority to continue and enforce the individual mandate. It will of course cost a lot of money without the federal backing. But states like California, where they have already started with the health reform requirements, might be too far into it from a cost perspective to turn back.
