Nicholas Bagley, assistant professor of law at the University of Michigan Law School, in a blog post published on The Incidental Economist criticized a coalition of state’s legal arguments in its bid to invalidate the Affordable Care Act.
The coalition’s plaintiffs, Bagley writes, argue the individual mandate in the ACA is unconstitutional for several reasons, but that because the mandate can’t be nixed from the rest of the health law, the statute in its entirety has to be eliminated.
The plaintiffs who are supporting the coalition’s efforts submitted affidavits making clear they’re both health and self-employed, as well as more than 400 percent above the poverty line.
