Supreme Court unlikely to kill Obamacare

The Supreme Court is unlikely to kill Obamacare, as Republicans challenged the legality of the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate Tuesday at the high court for the third time in hopes the 6-3 conservative majority would finally do away with President Obama’s signature law.

After the justices ruled the ACA was lawful as a tax in 2012, Republican lawmakers have tried a number of times to repeal and replace the massive health care overhaul, but they’ve repeatedly failed.

In 2017, the GOP majority in Congress implemented tax cuts which put the penalty for not buying health care at $0.
