I had one the other day tell me she thought people were only concentrating on the "bad things" about the law and ignoring the "good things".
The second part of the ACA that was challenged was the mandatory expansion of state Medicaid programs to cover more lower income individuals. The federal government currently pays about half of the costs of state Medicaid programs. Under the ACA, a state that refused to expand its Medicaid coverage would lose not only the additional federal funding provided by the ACA for such an expansion, but all federal funding for its Medicaid program.
