Trump administration asks Supreme Court to overturn ACA

• Nearly half a million people who lost their health insurance during the economic shutdown during the pandemic were able to get coverage through HealthCare.gov, per AP.

What they're saying

• Texas and other conservative-led states argue the ACA is unconstitutional after Congress passed tax legislation in 2017 that removed fines for not having health insurance but still requires all Americans to have coverage.
• The Trump administration's legal brief does not mention the coronavirus.

What's next: The court will likely hear the arguments in the fall.
