AARP and AARP Foundation Urge Supreme Court to Accept Review of Affordable Care Act Case
"Since 2010, the ACA has helped millions of Americans by expanding access to affordable health care, guaranteeing coverage for people with preexisting conditions, limiting how much insurers can charge older adults for coverage, and lowering out-of-pocket costs for Medicare beneficiaries," said
According to the brief:
"Most immediately, the decision plunges millions of Americans into an abyss of prolonged uncertainty because they do not know if they will lose access to life-sustaining health care coverage and consumer protections. This prolonged uncertainty is especially grueling for older adults because they have a higher incidence of chronic illnesses and depend heavily on access to health care services."
"Health insurance is an essential part of people's lives, especially for those who have chronic illnesses. As a result, they cannot make informed life decisions while the legal viability of the ACA hangs in the balance. Instead, they are stuck waiting for the case to go through potentially years of legal proceedings while constantly fearing they will lose their access to affordable health care."
"Exacerbating their concerns is the reality that health care stakeholders, including insurance companies and state and local governments, may decide that the prolonged uncertainty impairs their ability to participate in the ACA Marketplaces or other ACA programs."
"The Court can end this uncertainty and confusion by granting review of this case. Given the importance of this case to the public, health care stakeholders, and state and local governments, Amici respectfully request that the Court grant the petition for a writ of certiorari and expedite its review of this case."
