“Jen Flory, Policy Advocate for the Western Center on Law & Poverty, discussed the impact of the Supreme Court’s decision on California during a session at the 2020 Southern California State of Reform Virtual Health Policy Conference.”
The stakes have never been higher for the millions of Californians who rely on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for access to the vital health care services they and their loved ones count on every day. As the U.S. Supreme Court weighs the future of the ACA, one point is clear: this momentous law has become part of the fabric of our entire health care system.
So many things we all count on could be upended if the ACA is overturned:
Cutting through all the partisanship, politics, and legal arguments, the ACA is really about one thing: people. Without the ACA, millions of Californians who rely on its protections will be sicker, their ability to provide for their families will be at risk, and they will face an uncertain future.
With so much at stake, we hope the Supreme Court rules to protect the health of all Californians.
