TL;DRAbstract

Debates about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) and its measures continue to play out in both the court of public opinion and our federal and state courts. Various federal courts, called circuit courts, have reached different decisions on whether the act is constitutional. Recently, the Department of Justice petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review of the conflicting decisions, making it very likely that the Supreme Court will make a final decision by June 2012 [1].
