There's lots of comments about the impact of Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. There's also Democratic proposals for what they want to do if and when they are elected in 2020. I wonder though about this issue:
Given the decision on Obamacare (this name seems to be fading in favor of ACA--not sure why the change) by SCOTUS, what sort of constitutional basis can the Dems use for future health care legislation? Can they fix ACA in 2021 by reviving the provisions Trump is killing? Would such revivals find support in SCOTUS? There would still be the 5 Justices who supported its legality but on divided opinions. Would the Dems need to redo ACA to base it more firmly on the authority to tax? Would they want to?
And how about the next bridge further--legislation to provide Medicare for All?
