High court dismisses challenge brought by Arkansas and other states to Obama health law
WASHINGTON (AP/KARK) — The Supreme Court has dismissed a challenge to the Obama-era health care law, preserving insurance coverage for millions of Americans.
The justices left the entire law intact Thursday in ruling that Texas, other Republican-led states and two individuals had no right to bring their lawsuit in federal court.
According to a spokesperson with the Arkansas Attorney General’s Office, the Natural State is a part of this lawsuit.
The law’s major provisions include protections for people with pre-existing health conditions, a range of no-cost preventive services and the expansion of the Medicaid program that insures lower-income people, including those who work in jobs that don’t pay much or provide health insurance.
