First of two parts.
“This is a big f***ing deal!” You probably remember Vice President Joe Biden whispering this into President Obama’s ear — and mic — on March 23, 2010, as the president strolled to the East Room podium, where he would finally sign into law his long-fought health care reform bill. Next spring, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide just how big of a deal it actually is. In November, the court granted three related petitions for certiorari to decide whether the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — which occupied more than a year of Congress’ attention, brought wonky terms like “single payer” and “individual mandate” into common understanding, and gave birth to the Tea Party movement — is constitutional. In doing so, the court will wrestle with core questions of federalism, congressional power and the future of health care in the United States.
