Democratic States Attorneys General on recent U.S. Supreme Court ACA Decision confirmation

Published

on

On June 17, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a historic verdict on the future of the Affordable Care Act. The court sided with Democratic AGs, dismissing a challenge to the Affordable Care Act led by Republican Attorneys General, thus leaving the law intact.

Since 2018, Attorney General Ken Paxton and 17 other Republican state attorneys general have waged war on the Affordable Care Act in an attempt to make it more difficult to access healthcare. The state of California was the first state to push back against this effort, and over 20 other states joined the fight. The decision today in California v. Texas emphasizes the key role of the Attorneys General in defending access to health care.

Democratic AGs will be participating in a virtual press conference to analyze the Supreme Court’s decision and discuss its implications. Democratic AGs remain committed to fighting for meaningful access to quality and affordable healthcare.
