In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), also referred to as ObamaCare, was passed into law. In the last 10 years, there have been multiple unsuccessful attempts to repeal the law, but the ACA has remained, and 20 million people have gained insurance as a result.

On November 10, 2020, the United States Supreme Court heard arguments in California v. Texas, a legal challenge that seeks to strike down the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Read more on California v. Texas and Texas v. the United States.
