Tim Jost on a Year of Renewed Affordable Care Act Litigation
In 2018, the Trump administration aggressively issued regulations and guidance that effectively undermine many of the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) key safeguards and benefits. In a new post on To the Point, legal expert Timothy S. Jost says that the year also brought a barrage of litigation by states, cities, advocates, and health plans challenging these administrative initiatives, as well as a lawsuit intended to invalidate the entire ACA.
Jost reviews the status of each of these challenges, including a lawsuit brought by New York and several other states challenging the administration’s association health plan rule, suits challenging the broadening of religious and moral exemptions from the requirement that insurers cover contraceptives, and many more.
Jost also weighs in on what we can expect in 2019.
