The struggle for the constitutionality of obamacare in the Supreme Court of the United States

The paper described the struggle for the constitutionality of the US health care reform which began when the law initiated by the Democratic administration of Barack Obama was approved in 2010. The research analyzed the social and political dispute concerning the most fundamental issues that made up the essence of the reform. The authors attempted to elaborate on the confrontation between the opponents and supporters of the reform, their reasons and arguments that made it possible to grasp the different approaches to developing the social policy in the United States. Opponents of the reform seriously criticized its key aspects and sought to declare such provisions of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as an individual mandate and federal insurance subsidies unconstitutional. The research emphasized the confrontation between opponents and supporters of the reform in the Supreme Court of the United States. The authors considered the decisions of the US Supreme Court which were adopted in 2012 and 2015 and brought with them the victory of reform supporters. However, these decisions do not mean that the opponents of Obamacare abandon their efforts to reverse this reform, as evidenced by the actions of the Republican administration of D. Trump.
