Arlington Health Insurance In Limbo Do to COVID-19 And The Affordable Care Act

Share this news:

Rick Thornton, a health insurance agent in Arlington, Texas, says Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s death last week is likely to have a profound impact on the Affordable Care Act and how the high court eventually rules.

Health insurance in Arlington, Texas and the future of the Affordable Care Act on a nationwide level now depends on what happens when a newly-appointed high court judge steps in after the unfortunate passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last week. Discussions are intensifying as lawmakers shift from discussing health care in a world with COVID-19 to the long-time battle over ACA’s constitutionality moving forward.

Ginsburg’s replacement could be nominated and sworn in soon. The high court will then decide the Affordable Care Act’s fate as it begins hearing arguments in the case of Texas v. United States on Nov. 10. According to several published reports, the case was filed by upset lawmakers after the government eliminated the individual mandate penalty in 2017. Since then, many have said ACA is no longer constitutional and must be struck down entirely. Many who oppose ACA were okay with temporarily putting their arguments on the backburner as the nation struggled with the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though the pandemic is far from over, lawmakers feel comfortable turning their attention back to ACA.


The Arlington health insurance case will undoubtedly stretch past the November election, which is why lawmakers have petitioned to speed things up. They say a better and more robust health care bill deserves to see the light of day.


Rick Thornton, an Arlington health insurance agent, said the reason why so many government officials want to spring into action with a ruling is twofold. Annual national spending is on pace to hit $6 trillion because of the costs for Medicare and private insurance — even as American use less care. On top of that, millions more Americans don’t have health insurance compared to several years ago, and millions more who do have it can’t afford basic medication and services.
