Supreme Court of the United States

Maine Community Health Options, Petitioner v. United States; Moda Health Plan, Inc., Petitioner v. — Alito, J…

April 27, 2020140 S. Ct. 1308

Summary

Justice Alito dissents, arguing that the Court should not infer a private right of action under §1342 of the Affordable Care Act and that the newly articulated “money‑mandating” test lacks a sound doctrinal foundation. He contends that Congress has not created such a remedy and that the inference would obligate billions of taxpayer dollars to private insurers.
