The Supreme Court’s recent ruling upholding the Affordable Care Act (ACA), but limiting the federal government’s enforcement authority with respect to the Medicaid expansion, is raising a number of issues, including how health reform implementation moves forward if some states refuse to expand their Medicaid programs. NHeLP and a number of national and state advocates are working with the Administration to address these concerns.
