Official statement from the American College of Rheumatology on the King v. Burwell Supreme Court ruling and what this means for the rheumatology community.
The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) appreciates yesterday’s ruling by the United States Supreme Court affirming the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in its decision on King v. Burwell. In its ruling, the Supreme Court confirmed that Americans will have access to tax credits for health insurance subsidies, regardless of whether they are accessing state-based health insurance marketplaces or federally facilitated health insurance marketplaces.
Other topics include resurgence of whales off southern California, treating chronic kidney disease, and a breakthrough in a heart-specific type of stem cell.
Earlier today, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Affordable Care Act will remain unchanged, and that the government can continue to subsidize health care coverage through the federal exchange in states without state exchanges.

Burwell settles the legal debate on the lawfulness of federal tax subsidies for individuals enrolled in federal health insurance exchanges, many problems with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) remain. Far from the last word on healthcare reform, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) are redoubling their efforts to work with Congress to move forward and fix the shortcomings of the health reform law.
Today, in a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Government’s ability to offer health insurance premiums on the Federal health insurance marketplace.

Hodges, which addresses the matter of marriage equality and the constitutional status of state bans on same-sex marriage, the American Sociological Association (ASA) has a number of sociologists available to discuss same-sex marriage.
