The Supreme Court Hears ObamaCare

America's nine highest justices are currently hearing arguments both for and against -- otherwise known as ObamaCare -- hailed by many as President Barack Obama's signature piece of legislation.

The court has granted six hours of oral argument time for the case, the most time given an issue in four decades. Oral arguments began Monday and are scheduled to conclude Wednesday, March 28. 

Though a study released by the Urban Institute found that only two percent of Americans would be subject to the bill, others argue that an individual mandate is unconstitutional and is another example of the federal government overstepping its bounds.

Antoinette Kraus, Project Director with the Pennsylvania Health Access Network, released a statement on Tuesday regarding the Supreme Court arguments on the Affordable Care Act:

“Two years after its passage, millions of Americans are seeing first hand the benefits of the Affordable Care Act.   Two million seniors now have access to cancer screenings and free preventive care, and over 64,000 young adults are now able to stay on their parents’ health insurance. Children can no longer be denied coverage for a pre-existing health condition, and even more protections are on the way in 2014.

“If the Affordable Care Act is repealed, millions of Pennsylvanians will lose important protections and have nowhere to turn if they lose coverage from an employer. We will go back to the days when insurance companies could discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions, charge women more, and cut your coverage when you get sick. We are confident that the law is constitutional.”

The law is expected to be upheld, the Huffington Post reports.

The case will be decided in June.
