Supreme Court Ruling Leaves ACA Intact
The Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund applauds the June 17, 2021 Supreme Court decision in California v. Texas, which upheld the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its critical nondiscrimination and healthcare expansion provisions. The ruling by the nation’s highest Court rejected a significant challenge to the constitutionality of the ACA. In 2020, DREDF and a number of allied organizations filed an amicus brief opposing attempts to dismantle the ACA provisions that people, including many with disabilities, rely on to receive the healthcare services and supports they need., The Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund applauds the June 17, 2021 Supreme Court decision in California v.
