Appeals Court Weighs Constitutionality of Obamacare

Summary from the AllSides News Team

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans is considering overturning a Texas judge's ruling that Obamacare is unconstitutional.

A challenge led by Republican-held states led to the initial unconstitutional ruling in December 2018. If Obamacare is again declared unconstitutional by a federal judge, another appeal may be brought to the U.S. Supreme Court as the 2020 Presidential race heats up.

Left-leaning media outlets focused on the improbability of a successful lawsuit for Republicans and the consequences for Americans who benefit from Obamacare in their coverage of this story. On the right, coverage focused on the technical side of the lawsuit, analyzing how and why the ruling that Obamacare is unconstitutional may be upheld.
