The US Supreme Court on Monday agreed to once again review former President Barack Obama’s signature health care law, the target of repeated political and legal challenges over the past decade.
The top court, which had upheld the law in 2012 and 2015, will examine a suit brought by Democrats seeking to counter lower court rulings that put in question the law’s constitutionality.
In its original form, it required Americans to buy health insurance or face a financial penalty. It also required insurance companies to offer policies to any potential client, regardless of the state of their health. Republican lawmakers nonetheless have sought to amend the law, and in 2017 suppressed a provision that imposed fines on anyone who failed to buy insurance.
