• W291013063 abstract "In a much-anticipated decision, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the in IRC Sec. 5000A, requiring U.S. citizens and legal residents to maintain minimum essential health coverage, to be a permissible exercise of Congress's taxing powers under the Constitution (National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebdius, Sup. Ct. Dkt. No. 11-393 (U.S. 6/28/12)). The court, in a 5-4 decision, held that the payments required of individuals who do not maintain minimum health coverage under the mandate were not a penalty, but are a tax and are allowed under Congress's power to tax in Article 1 of the Constitution. This means they are constitutional, even though a majority of the justices found that the individual went beyond Congress's powers under the Commerce Clause. The entire act was upheld, although the Court did limit the federal government's power to terminate states' Medicaid funds. The Court held that the Medicaid portion of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, PL. 111-148 (the Patient Protection Act), which requires states to accept an enormous expansion in the number of people they cover under the program or face a cut of all Medicaid funds, was unconstitutional as enacted, but found that a severability clause in the law allowed it to go forward without the threat of the loss of all Medicaid funds. SHARED RESPONSIBILITY PAYMENT IS A TAX Although the individual mandate's shared responsibility payment in Sec. 5000A is labeled a penalty, not a tax, the Court held it is a tax for purposes of determining its constitutionality, and ultimately upheld it as a valid exercise of Congress's power to tax. Chief Justice John Roberts concluded that the individual must be construed as imposing a tax on those who do not have health insurance, if such a construction is reasonable, because reasonable construction must be resorted to, in order to save a statute from unconstitutionality (Hooper v. California, 155 U.S. 648 (1895)). The Court held that the individual was within Congress's power under the Constitution's Taxing Clause. The Court concluded that the individual is not a legal command to buy insurance, but rather a tax on the choice to forgo buying insurance. It does not apply to people who are not required to file income tax returns. The fact that the Patient Protection Act calls it a penalty instead of a tax was not controlling, the Court said. PROVISIONS IN THE HEALTH CARE LAW Several health-care-related elements of 2010's health care reform legislation (the Patient Protection Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, P.L. 111-152 (the Reconciliation Act)) are already in effect, and the Court's decision allows them to continue. These include a temporary high-risk pool for individuals with preexisting health conditions, a prohibition on lifetime dollar limits for essential benefits in insurance policies, and a requirement that dependents be allowed to stay on their parents' health coverage until they turn 26. In addition, insurers are prohibited from excluding preexisting conditions for children under age 19 and, starting in 2014, will be prohibited from discriminating against any individual based on a preexisting medical condition. Also in 2014, states will be required to establish health insurance exchanges, and the insurance premiums of individuals in households with income up to 400% of the poverty line will be subsidized. Other key health-related provisions that go hand in hand with the individual health insurance are: * Guaranteed issue: A requirement that health insurers sell coverage to anyone regardless of health status; * Community rating: A requirement that people in the same age group pay the same premium regardless of health status; and * Employer responsibility: A requirement that every company with a workforce of at least 50 full-time-equivalent employees offer affordable health insurance to its employees. …" @default.
