Professor Robert Sedler opined about the U.S. Supreme court’s decision upholding the Affordable Care Act. Sedler wrote: “The effect of the decision is to now give the states a choice. Michigan will have to decide whether it wants to accept or refuse the Medicaid expansion, most of which will be paid for by the federal government. That decision, of course, does not affect the rest of the act.” He concluded: “Pundits, politicians and law professors will continue to comment. But for lawyers and judges, the constitutional question is now settled. It is time to move on.”
