The Supreme Court Upholds the ACA

Medical CaduceusOn Thursday, June 28, the Supreme Court of the United States handed down its ruling on the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare. In Nation Federation of Independent Business et al. v. Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, et al., the Court upheld the law’s individual mandate as a valid use of the tax and spend clause. In addition, the new law imposes a 3.8% Medicare surtax on unearned income. Here is a chart that helps explain the new surtax. Furthermore, Mr. Robert S. Keebler will host a one-hour webinar on July 30, 2012 entitled, “Understanding the 3.8% Medicare Surtax.”
