I’m a Doctor, and I’m Worried About What Comes Next for Our Health Care System (The New York Times)

Health care is facing significant threats as the courts, not just politicians, are chipping away at the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Recent Supreme Court rulings, particularly overturning the Chevron doctrine, have weakened federal agencies’ power to regulate health policies, allowing industries like pharma and insurance to mount legal challenges. These lawsuits could undermine key protections, including pre-existing condition coverage. However, grassroots initiatives, such as Medicaid expansion and reproductive rights, show that public pushback may play a crucial role in defending health care access.
