States Should Seize the ACA Ruling and Run With It Two weeks ago, our organization called on States opposing Obamacare to take the judge’s ruling and run with it. The ACA was ruled “invalid,” giving states an easy opportunity to break free. We asked States to move forward with laws and regulations not compliant with the ACA; to ask insurers to offer the affordable major-medical catastrophic policies now prohibited by the ACA, and to re-open high-risk pools for people with uninsurable pre-existing conditions. Last week the judge put his ruling on hold, pending appeal. But that doesn’t mean Republicans shouldn’t use their 10th Amendment rights to act. The law has always been unconstitutional. Republican-led states should seize the day, not sit in silence.
