Daily Update: Obamacare & Fulton v. Philadelphia Supreme Court Decisions

De-Briefing the Law, Daily Update, June. 18th, 2021

Yesterday was a big day on the Supreme Court. The Court released its decision on the fate of the Affordable Care Act, dismissing the challenge based on standing. This wasn't Obamacare's first time before the Court, so we review past constitutional questions and what the future of the ACA may look like. The Court also came to a 9-0 agreement in the case of Fulton v. Philadelphia. This case dealt with the Catholic church and whether the city could deny working with the Catholic church in the foster care system due to its religious beliefs about marriage.
