participants, shared responsibility (meaning the individual coverage
mandate) and reforms of the insurance market—to extend health coverage

stool would undermine the entire law, observers believe.
The case “is the most existential threat to the viability of the
Affordable Care Act in about three dozen states,” says Ron Pollack, the
executive director of Families USA, a Washington, D.C., group that
lobbies on behalf of health care consumers and is a strong supporter of
the ACA. “The stakes are very high.”
