June 17, 2021
The more than 12,000 physicians and physicians-in-training of the Minnesota Medical Association applaud the U.S. Supreme Court's decision today to dismiss the challenge to the Affordable Care Act brought by Texas and 17 other states. This decision preserves live-saving healthcare coverage for thousands of Minnesotans and millions of Americans. The ACA remains the law of the land and provides critical protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions, for young adults to retain dependent coverage until age 26, and for many low-income Americans who were previously not able to obtain Medicaid or other affordable coverage. The MMA is committed to preserving and improving the ACA to achieve the goal of healthcare coverage and access for all Americans.
