President Donald Trump’s administration is appealing to the Supreme Court on the Affordable Care Act, asking justices to strike down the healthcare regulations.
Two federal courts have ruled that the act’s individual mandate, which required people who did not have health insurance to pay a fine, violated the U.S. Constitution. The mandate, the Trump administration is arguing, is not severable from the rest of the act, also known as the ACA, or Obamacare.
