"This raised questions about whether the ACA was still constitutional.[16][17][18] In June 2021, the Supreme Court upheld the ACA for the third time in California v. Texas.[19]" is the final piece of the top page of the article. I find this to be somewhat misleading, as the ruling of California v. Texas was a result of the opinion that Texas lacked standing, as their claim to injury was denied by the majority and the Court decided they could not rule on the question at hand. The way these sentences coincide —— without proper context —— implies that the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the ACA, which was not true of the majority opinion. The district and circuit court rulings were also contradictory, the first ruled that the mandate was unconstitutional and therefore so was the rest of the act, while the latter opined that the mandate may be severable, remanding it back to the district. However, SCOTUS granted certiorari prior to the district reopening the case.[1][2][3]
Basically, this case never played out to the point of any effective rulings on the constitutionality of the act as a whole, only affirming this in the portion of the individual mandate. As such, this should be reworded, provided with substantial context, or removed altogether.
I would at least agree that it reflects bad writing in the context of an encyclopedia. Avoid figurative language, euphemisms, and the sort. GMGtalk00:39, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have to disagree with you here. The term "landmark" is used consistently in reference to Court rulings or acts of Congress that present a significant change to the status quo, even in scholarly writing. There is not necessarily any positive or negative connotation to the word as used in this instance. As said at the top of the article, the ACA "represents the U.S. healthcare system's most significant regulatory overhaul and expansion of coverage since the enactment of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965." This in and of itself is grounds for the use of the adjective.
