Enrollment in health insurance offered through the dropped four percent this year, and there鈥檚 some uncertainty about its future following a federal judge鈥檚 decision.
The judge in Texas ruled the law unconstitutional Friday over its requirement that people enroll even though the Trump Administration has repealed that mandate.
Senator says the Affordable Care Act is still the law of the land and that no one鈥檚 insurance is changing right away. But he also says there鈥檚 a lot at stake if this ruling is upheld.
鈥淭ax credits to help you afford insurance will be gone; protections for those Americans with pre-existing conditions will be gone; limits on how much you pay out of pocket each year would be gone. So while Republicans who have tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act celebrated this Texas decision, most of America decidedly did not.鈥�
If the judge鈥檚 ruling is upheld on appeal, the case could end up before the Supreme Court.
