Answer all parts of all questions below.

(2) What did the U.S. Supreme Court rule about the ACA in NFIB v. Sebelius? What parts of the Act were upheld? What parts were struck down, or revised? How have states reacted?

(3) What later issues did the U.S. Supreme Court decide in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby and King v. Burwell? Did the Court decide those cases properly? Defend your view against opposing arguments. What effect will those decisions have on implementing the ACA?

(4) In your view, what provisions of the ACA have been–or promise to be—its most successful reforms? What additional problems may arise because of the ACA?

(5) Is the ACA working as Congress intended when it passed the law? Why or why not? How could or should the ACA be changed in order to improve health care in the United States?
