b"The U.S. Supreme Court today heard oral argument in the latest challenge to the Affordable Care Act. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals last year ruled the ACA\\u2019s individual mandate unconstitutional and sent the case back to the district court in Texas for the judge to determine which of the law's provisions could survive without the mandate. Twenty states and the District of Columbia petitioned the Supreme Court to review the decision. \\n\\nSean Marotta, who authored the AHA\\u2019s friend-of-the-court brief (https://www.aha.org/amicus-brief/2020-05-13-amicus-brief-national-hospital-associations-support-california-state) urging the court to reverse the appeals court decision, provided live analysis of today\\u2019s hearing for AHA on Twitter (https://www.aha.org/supreme-court-cases)."
