  • President Donald Trump's Justice Department is defending the Affordable Care Act before the Supreme Court - a notable contrast to his first term, when his administration sought to repeal the law in Congress and then refused to defend it in a major challenge brought by GOP-led states.

On April 20, 2025, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case challenging the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. representing the plaintiffs. Kennedy argued that the ACA's individual mandate infringes on personal freedoms and that the law's expansion of Medicaid coerces states. The Biden administration defended the ACA, emphasizing its role in providing health insurance to millions of Americans and arguing that the mandate is a legitimate exercise of Congress's taxing power. The outcome of this case could significantly impact the future of healthcare in the United States, potentially affecting coverage for millions of people.
