| 摘要 | Thank you Chairwoman Eshoo, Subcommittee Ranking Member Burgess, and Members of the Subcommittee for the opportunity to testify today on an unusual subject. It’s one that borders on the premature, if not speculative, end of the intersection between the health law, policy, and politics spheres of influence, which have been known to collide rather unusually over the last decade when it comes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The particular case at issue today, more commonly referred to as Texas v. Azar, remains in its relatively early stages, with an ultimate fate as much as another 16 months away. The probability of a Supreme Court ruling that would overturn the entire ACA remains very low, despite last December’s decision at the federal district court level reaching exactly that legal conclusion. In any case, any formal enforcement action to carry out that decision has been stayed while the case continues on appeal to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. In the meantime, all current provisions of the original ACA as enacted in March 2010 (and then altered, to a modest degree, by subsequent legislation and far more frequently by regulatory re-interpretations and administrative actions by both the Obama and Trump administrations) will remain in full force unless and until a higher court either upholds the December ruling or modifies it in part. On the other hand, overturning that entire decision in whole would return us to the same boat, no matter how leaky it has become.
