Five days after a Texas judge declared the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, Obamacare supporters are back in court in a bid to save it.
A lawsuit filed in September as a hedge against just the sort of ruling U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth issued Dec. 14 is the new front in the nearly nine-year war over President Barack Obama's signature achievement and could force the issue back before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Affordable Care Act has 10 distinct chapters in the law books, runs somewhere north of 900 pages (depending on type size) when printed, and has infiltrated nearly every aspect of the nation’s medical system in ways massive and minute.
Yet a federal judge in Texas has ruled that the Republican elimination of the tax penalty for the uninsured also invalidated the legal mandate that every adult American have health insurance. Based on just those two issues, Judge Reed O'Connor ruled the entire law is unconstitutional.

A Case Western Reserve University law professor whose research formed the foundation for a major challenge to the Affordable Care Act recently found himself on the other side — essentially defending the current state of the controversial law.
Jonathan Adler, who has taught at Case since 2001, said a Texas federal judge’s recent ruling that struck down the entire healthcare law, commonly known as Obamacare, has analysis that the professor considers "bananas." Adler was equally critical of the lawsuit that prompted the ruling, which was filed on behalf of Texas and 19 other states.

The three red states — Idaho, Nebraska and Utah — that bucked their own Republican legislatures last month and approved Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act are likely to proceed, despite Friday's ruling by a federal judge in Texas that the entire federal healthcare law is unconstitutional.

A Texas federal judge's ruling Friday invalidating the Affordable Care Act could create political headaches for Medicaid expansion supporters in states that are moving to implement or maintain expansion.
If it's upheld on appeal, which is highly uncertain, U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor's decision declaring the entire ACA unconstitutional would eliminate federal authorization and funding for the expansion of Medicaid to low-income adults. That would force states to shoulder the full price of covering people who would not qualify for coverage under pre-ACA criteria, rather than having the federal government pick up 90 percent of the cost.

Perhaps the chief takeaway from the rejected citizen initiative to expand Medicaid in Montana last month is this: Be careful when you poke a giant.
Montana was one of four red states with Medicaid expansion on the ballot, and the only one where it failed. And the reason why, many close observers both inside and outside of the state agree, almost certainly came down to a tactical decision to link expansion to an increase in the state's tobacco tax.
