The five-member panel has convened a trial-like hearing to determine whether to recommend Mirkarimi's removal from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee cited Mirkarimi with misconduct and suspended him without pay in March, shortly after the sheriff pleaded guilty to misdemeanor false imprisonment for bruising his wife's arm during a New Year's Eve dispute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee testified that he suspended Mirkarimi because of the significance of the role of sheriff as one of the top law enforcement positions in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A city attorney grilled San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi on Friday about his conversations with his wife and campaign manager days after he bruised his wife's arm in an alleged domestic violence incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was Mirkarimi's second day testifying before the city's ethics commission, which is weighing his fitness for office. The panel also began hearing from Mayor Ed Lee, who suspended Mirkarimi without pay in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials allege that the sheriff directed his wife, Eliana Lopez, and campaign manager, Linnette Peralta Haynes, to dissuade a neighbor from talking about the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The neighbor, Ivory Madison, had recorded a video of a tearful Lopez discussing the alleged abuse. She later turned the video over to police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi, under questioning from Deputy City Attorney Peter Keith, said Friday that he remembered telling his wife after learning police were investigating the incident that she'd have to follow through with the process and couldn't \"unring the bell.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi's woes began on the afternoon of Dec. 31 when he and his wife became involved in an argument over whether she could travel to her native Venezuela with their 3-year-old son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi admitted bruising her arm with an overly firm grip. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor false imprisonment, and other misdemeanor charges were dropped. Mirkarimi was sentenced to probation and counseling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff told the commission that in hindsight he wishes that he had a better strategy to deal with the media and subsequent fallout from his actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was an overwhelming event and continued to be an overwhelming event in the way I was branded,\" Mirkarimi said. \"I was sad, humiliated. I lost my family.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission adjourned the hearing soon after Lee began testifying. Police had received a threat to City Hall, said Susan Fahey, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco Sheriff's Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee resumed testifying a short time later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the first time the five-member ethics panel has convened a trial-like hearing to determine whether an elected official should be removed from office.

(\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/06/28/interview-nancy-pelosi-on-health-care-decision/#interview\">\u003cstrong>Jump straight to the interview here\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With good reason, perhaps. In 2010, Pelosi was instrumental in reviving the health care bill when it seemed all but dead. Before the final House vote, The New York Times \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/21/health/policy/21reconstruct.html?pagewanted=all\">recounted her pivotal role\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Speaker Nancy Pelosi was at her wits’ end, and she let President Obama know it. Scott Brown, the upstart Republican, had just won his Senate race in Massachusetts, a victory that seemed to doom Mr. Obama’s dream of overhauling the nation’s health care system. The White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, once Ms. Pelosi’s right hand man on Capitol Hill, was pushing Mr. Obama to scale back his ambitions and pursue a pared-down bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Obama seemed open to the idea, though it was clearly not his first choice. Ms. Pelosi scoffed. “Kiddie care,” she called the scaled-down plan, derisively, in private.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a series of impassioned conversations, over the telephone and in the Oval Office, she conveyed her frustration to the president, according to four people familiar with the talks. If she and Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic leader, were going to stick out their necks for Mr. Obama’s top legislative priority, Ms. Pelosi wanted assurances that the president would too. At the White House, aides to Mr. Obama say, he also wanted assurances; he needed to hear that the leaders could pass his far-reaching plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in the majority,” Ms. Pelosi told the president. “We’ll never have a better majority in your presidency in numbers than we’ve got right now. We can make this work…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Mr. Obama has come this far — within a whisper of passing historic social legislation — is remarkable in itself. But the story of how he did it is not his alone. It is the story of how a struggling president partnered with a pair of experienced legislators — Ms. Pelosi and, to a lesser extent, Mr. Reid — to reach for a goal that Mr. Obama has often said had eluded his predecessors going back to Theodore Roosevelt.

In 2010, Pelosi was instrumental in reviving the health care bill when it seemed all but dead. Before the final House vote, The New York Times \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/21/health/policy/21reconstruct.html?pagewanted=all\">recounted her pivotal role\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Speaker Nancy Pelosi was at her wits’ end, and she let President Obama know it. Scott Brown, the upstart Republican, had just won his Senate race in Massachusetts, a victory that seemed to doom Mr. Obama’s dream of overhauling the nation’s health care system. The White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, once Ms. Pelosi’s right hand man on Capitol Hill, was pushing Mr. Obama to scale back his ambitions and pursue a pared-down bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mr. Obama seemed open to the idea, though it was clearly not his first choice. Ms. Pelosi scoffed. “Kiddie care,” she called the scaled-down plan, derisively, in private.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a series of impassioned conversations, over the telephone and in the Oval Office, she conveyed her frustration to the president, according to four people familiar with the talks. If she and Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic leader, were going to stick out their necks for Mr. Obama’s top legislative priority, Ms. Pelosi wanted assurances that the president would too. At the White House, aides to Mr. Obama say, he also wanted assurances; he needed to hear that the leaders could pass his far-reaching plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in the majority,” Ms. Pelosi told the president. “We’ll never have a better majority in your presidency in numbers than we’ve got right now. We can make this work…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Mr. Obama has come this far — within a whisper of passing historic social legislation — is remarkable in itself. But the story of how he did it is not his alone. It is the story of how a struggling president partnered with a pair of experienced legislators — Ms. Pelosi and, to a lesser extent, Mr. Reid — to reach for a goal that Mr. Obama has often said had eluded his predecessors going back to Theodore Roosevelt.

However, Republicans quickly indicated they will try to use the decision to rally their supporters against what they call “Obamacare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stocks of hospital companies rose sharply, and insurance companies fell immediately after the decision was announced that Americans must carry health insurance or pay a penalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breaking with the court’s other conservative justices, Chief Justice John Roberts announced the judgment that allows the law to go forward with its aim of covering more than 30 million uninsured Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The justices rejected two of the administration’s three arguments in support of the insurance requirement. But the court said the mandate can be construed as a tax. “Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness,” Roberts said. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court found problems with the law’s expansion of Medicaid, but even there said the expansion could proceed as long as the federal government does not threaten to withhold states’ entire Medicaid allotment if they don’t take part in the law’s extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court’s four liberal justices, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, joined Roberts in the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy summarized the dissent in court. “In our view, the act before us is invalid in its entirety,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dissenters said in a joint statement that the law “exceeds federal power both in mandating the purchase of health insurance and in denying non-consenting states all Medicaid funding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, the justices spelled out their views in six opinions totaling 187 pages. Roberts, Kennedy and Ginsburg spent 57 minutes summarizing their views in the packed courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation passed Congress in early 2010 after a monumental struggle in which all Republicans voted against it. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Thursday the House will vote the week of July 9 on whether to repeal the law, though such efforts have virtually no chance in the Democratic-controlled Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has joined in calls for complete repeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the ruling, Republican campaign strategists said Romney will use it to continue campaigning against “Obamacare” and attacking the president’s signature health care program as a tax increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obama might have his law, but the GOP has a cause,” said veteran campaign adviser Terry Holt. “This promises to galvanize Republican support around a repeal of what could well be called the largest tax increase in American history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats said Romney, who backed an individual health insurance mandate when he was Massachusetts governor, will have a hard time exploiting the ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mitt Romney is the intellectual godfather of Obamacare,” said Democratic consultant Jim Manley. “The bigger issue is the rising cost of health care, and this bill is designed to deal with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than eight in 10 Americans already have health insurance. But for most of the 50 million who are uninsured, the ruling offers the promise of guaranteed coverage at affordable prices. Lower-income and many middle-class families will be eligible for subsidies to help pay premiums starting in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also an added safety net for all Americans, insured and uninsured. Starting in 2014, insurance companies will not be able to deny coverage for medical treatment, nor can they charge more to people with health problems. Those protections, now standard in most big employer plans, will be available to all, including people who get laid off, or leave a corporate job to launch their own small business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seniors also benefit from the law through better Medicare coverage for those with high prescription costs, and no copayments for preventive care. But hospitals, nursing homes, and many other service providers may struggle once the Medicare cuts used to finance the law really start to bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Illegal immigrants are not entitled to the new insurance coverage under the law, and will remain one of the biggest groups uninsured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama’s law is by no means the last word on health care. Experts expect costs to keep rising, meaning that lawmakers will have to revisit the issue perhaps as early as next year, when federal budget woes will force them to confront painful options for Medicare and Medicaid, the giant federal programs that cover seniors, the disabled, and low-income people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The health care overhaul focus will now quickly shift from Washington to state capitals. Only 14 states, plus Washington, D.C., have adopted plans to set up the new health insurance markets called for under the law. Called exchanges, the new markets are supposed to be up and running on Jan. 1, 2014. People buying coverage individually, as well as small businesses, will be able to shop for private coverage from a range of competing insurers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most Republican-led states, including large ones such as Texas and Florida, have been counting on the law to be overturned and have failed to do the considerable spade work needed to set up exchanges. There’s a real question about whether they can meet the deadline, and if they don’t, Washington will step in and run their exchanges for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast to the states, health insurance companies, major employers, and big hospital systems are among the best prepared. Many of the changes called for in the law were already being demanded by employers trying to get better value for their private health insurance dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The main driver here is financial,” said Dr. Toby Cosgrove, CEO of the Cleveland Clinic, which has pioneered some of the changes. “The factors driving health care reform are not new, and they are not going to go away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Ginsburg said the court should have upheld the entire law as written without forcing any changes in the Medicaid provision. She said Congress’ constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce supports the individual mandate. She warned that the legal reasoning, even though the law was upheld, could cause trouble in future cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So in the end, the Affordable Health Care Act survives largely unscathed. But the court’s commerce clause and spending clause jurisprudence has been set awry. My expectation is that the setbacks will be temporary blips, not permanent obstructions,” Ginsburg said in a statement she, too, read from the bench.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More resources:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/06/28/155901105/live-blog-the-health-care-ruling\">NPR live blog\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scotusblog.com/cover-it-live/\">SCOTUSblog live coverage and analysis\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/live-coverage/scotus-healthcare\">NY Times live blog\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://liveblog.washingtonpost.com/2012/06/28/supreme-court-health-care-ruling/?hpid=z2\">Washington Post live blog\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\n\n",

But the court said the mandate can be construed as a tax. “Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness,” Roberts said. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court found problems with the law’s expansion of Medicaid, but even there said the expansion could proceed as long as the federal government does not threaten to withhold states’ entire Medicaid allotment if they don’t take part in the law’s extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court’s four liberal justices, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, joined Roberts in the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy summarized the dissent in court. “In our view, the act before us is invalid in its entirety,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dissenters said in a joint statement that the law “exceeds federal power both in mandating the purchase of health insurance and in denying non-consenting states all Medicaid funding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, the justices spelled out their views in six opinions totaling 187 pages. Roberts, Kennedy and Ginsburg spent 57 minutes summarizing their views in the packed courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation passed Congress in early 2010 after a monumental struggle in which all Republicans voted against it. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Thursday the House will vote the week of July 9 on whether to repeal the law, though such efforts have virtually no chance in the Democratic-controlled Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has joined in calls for complete repeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the ruling, Republican campaign strategists said Romney will use it to continue campaigning against “Obamacare” and attacking the president’s signature health care program as a tax increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obama might have his law, but the GOP has a cause,” said veteran campaign adviser Terry Holt. “This promises to galvanize Republican support around a repeal of what could well be called the largest tax increase in American history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats said Romney, who backed an individual health insurance mandate when he was Massachusetts governor, will have a hard time exploiting the ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mitt Romney is the intellectual godfather of Obamacare,” said Democratic consultant Jim Manley. “The bigger issue is the rising cost of health care, and this bill is designed to deal with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than eight in 10 Americans already have health insurance. But for most of the 50 million who are uninsured, the ruling offers the promise of guaranteed coverage at affordable prices. Lower-income and many middle-class families will be eligible for subsidies to help pay premiums starting in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also an added safety net for all Americans, insured and uninsured. Starting in 2014, insurance companies will not be able to deny coverage for medical treatment, nor can they charge more to people with health problems. Those protections, now standard in most big employer plans, will be available to all, including people who get laid off, or leave a corporate job to launch their own small business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seniors also benefit from the law through better Medicare coverage for those with high prescription costs, and no copayments for preventive care. But hospitals, nursing homes, and many other service providers may struggle once the Medicare cuts used to finance the law really start to bite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Illegal immigrants are not entitled to the new insurance coverage under the law, and will remain one of the biggest groups uninsured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama’s law is by no means the last word on health care. Experts expect costs to keep rising, meaning that lawmakers will have to revisit the issue perhaps as early as next year, when federal budget woes will force them to confront painful options for Medicare and Medicaid, the giant federal programs that cover seniors, the disabled, and low-income people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The health care overhaul focus will now quickly shift from Washington to state capitals. Only 14 states, plus Washington, D.C., have adopted plans to set up the new health insurance markets called for under the law. Called exchanges, the new markets are supposed to be up and running on Jan. 1, 2014. People buying coverage individually, as well as small businesses, will be able to shop for private coverage from a range of competing insurers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most Republican-led states, including large ones such as Texas and Florida, have been counting on the law to be overturned and have failed to do the considerable spade work needed to set up exchanges. There’s a real question about whether they can meet the deadline, and if they don’t, Washington will step in and run their exchanges for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast to the states, health insurance companies, major employers, and big hospital systems are among the best prepared. Many of the changes called for in the law were already being demanded by employers trying to get better value for their private health insurance dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The main driver here is financial,” said Dr. Toby Cosgrove, CEO of the Cleveland Clinic, which has pioneered some of the changes. “The factors driving health care reform are not new, and they are not going to go away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Ginsburg said the court should have upheld the entire law as written without forcing any changes in the Medicaid provision. She said Congress’ constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce supports the individual mandate. She warned that the legal reasoning, even though the law was upheld, could cause trouble in future cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So in the end, the Affordable Health Care Act survives largely unscathed. But the court’s commerce clause and spending clause jurisprudence has been set awry. My expectation is that the setbacks will be temporary blips, not permanent obstructions,” Ginsburg said in a statement she, too, read from the bench.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A substantial number of people are already receiving insurance or other benefits under the law that they otherwise would not be eligible for. So I checked in today with Mina Kim, who has been reporting on health care for KQED, to see just what’s at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Mina to break down the possibilities into two categories:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1) What happens if the entire law is struck down\u003cbr>\n2) What happens if only the individual mandate — the requirement that everybody buy health insurance — is nixed\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cstrong>What happens if the entire law is struck down\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through the federal health care law, Mina Kim reports, about 400,000 Californians currently receive health care under a low-income health insurance program. After the health care law was enacted, California received a Medicaid waiver from the federal government that has enabled counties to receive matching federal funds to expand coverage to low-income, childless adults. Currently, 47 of California’s 58 counties participate in this program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, when the full federal law is supposed to go into effect, these individuals would be transferred to a newly expanded Medicaid program that \u003ca href=\"http://www.medicaid.gov/AffordableCareAct/Provisions/Eligibility.html\">mandates people below 133 percent of the poverty level qualify for coverage\u003c/a> (another component challenged in the Supreme Court).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the entire law is struck down, or just the Medicaid expansion, there will be no federal funds to keep these 400,000 low-income Californians enrolled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is also using federal funds provided under the health care law to \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcip.ca.gov/Home/default.aspx\">insure more than 10,000 people with pre-existing conditions\u003c/a>. (The state already has a “\u003ca href=\"http://www.mrmib.ca.gov/mrmib/Facts_About_California_HR_Pool.pdf\">high-risk pool\u003c/a>” under which it insures about 7,000 people, but it’s expensive and there’s a waiting list.) These are people who can’t get insurance on the individual market because they are already sick to some degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This program would be phased out in 2014 and replaced with an online health insurance exchange.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some senior citizens who receive prescription drug benefits under Medicare would also be affected if the entire law is struck down. The law requires pharmaceutical companies to provide 50 percent discounts on brand-name drugs and 7 percent on generics when people are caught in the so-called “\u003ca href=\"http://www.pcip.ca.gov/Home/default.aspx\">doughnut hole\u003c/a>” — a gap in coverage. The Centers For Medicare & Medicaid Services says that Californians have saved $311 million dollars on prescription drugs under this provision since the law passed.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens if the just the individual mandate is struck down?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This will primarily affect the way the health exchange — on track for 2014 — is intended to operate, says Mina Kim. The individual mandate compels people to buy insurance — the healthy and the sick alike — and theoretically if the mandate doesn’t exist, healthy people will not participate, thus not offsetting the cost of insuring the sick and keeping premiums affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been estimated that 2.5 to 3 million people in California will buy insurance over the exchange. The UCLA Center For Health Policy Research predicts 900,000 fewer people purchasing a plan if they’re not forced to. Peter Lee, the Executive Director of the California Health Benefit Exchange, estimated the decrease will be more like 500,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, California intends on going forward with its exchange even if the mandate is struck down, because the income-based subsidies that individual purchasers of insurance qualify for will remain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Peter Lee, who used to work on health policy in the Obama administration, said that the striking down of the individual mandate will absolutely not inhibit the ability of the exchange to go forward,” Mina Kim says. “Lee says he’s not even doing any contingency planning for the decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what if the entire law is struck down — meaning no subsidies for people to buy insurance on the exchange?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lee thinks for the justices to strike down all the parts of the health care law would be such an incredible overreach of judicial power, that it’s not even worth considering. That’s how he feels about it. California has already even contracted with an IT vendor to create an online portal for the exchange. But he’s willing to concede the mandate may be struck down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, state lawmakers could try to legislate around a decision striking down the mandate, creating something akin to it that would still meet constitutional muster. “There has been support for that in the past,” says Mina Kim. “There are lawmakers considering laws to that effect should the court strike the mandate down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What will stay no matter what the court rules? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some provisions of the health care act will remain in California even if the court strikes the entire thing down, because the state has passed legislation duplicating those laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Children will still be able to stay on their parents’ health plan up to the age of 26.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Insurers will still not be able to reject anyone under 18 with pre-existing conditions\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Insurers will not be able to cancel someone’s coverage when they become sick (called “recission”) because the insured made an unintentional error in his or her original application.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

After the health care law was enacted, California received a Medicaid waiver from the federal government that has enabled counties to receive matching federal funds to expand coverage to low-income, childless adults. Currently, 47 of California’s 58 counties participate in this program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, when the full federal law is supposed to go into effect, these individuals would be transferred to a newly expanded Medicaid program that \u003ca href=\"http://www.medicaid.gov/AffordableCareAct/Provisions/Eligibility.html\">mandates people below 133 percent of the poverty level qualify for coverage\u003c/a> (another component challenged in the Supreme Court).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the entire law is struck down, or just the Medicaid expansion, there will be no federal funds to keep these 400,000 low-income Californians enrolled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is also using federal funds provided under the health care law to \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcip.ca.gov/Home/default.aspx\">insure more than 10,000 people with pre-existing conditions\u003c/a>. (The state already has a “\u003ca href=\"http://www.mrmib.ca.gov/mrmib/Facts_About_California_HR_Pool.pdf\">high-risk pool\u003c/a>” under which it insures about 7,000 people, but it’s expensive and there’s a waiting list.) These are people who can’t get insurance on the individual market because they are already sick to some degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This program would be phased out in 2014 and replaced with an online health insurance exchange.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some senior citizens who receive prescription drug benefits under Medicare would also be affected if the entire law is struck down. The law requires pharmaceutical companies to provide 50 percent discounts on brand-name drugs and 7 percent on generics when people are caught in the so-called “\u003ca href=\"http://www.pcip.ca.gov/Home/default.aspx\">doughnut hole\u003c/a>” — a gap in coverage. The Centers For Medicare & Medicaid Services says that Californians have saved $311 million dollars on prescription drugs under this provision since the law passed.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens if the just the individual mandate is struck down?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This will primarily affect the way the health exchange — on track for 2014 — is intended to operate, says Mina Kim. The individual mandate compels people to buy insurance — the healthy and the sick alike — and theoretically if the mandate doesn’t exist, healthy people will not participate, thus not offsetting the cost of insuring the sick and keeping premiums affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been estimated that 2.5 to 3 million people in California will buy insurance over the exchange. The UCLA Center For Health Policy Research predicts 900,000 fewer people purchasing a plan if they’re not forced to. Peter Lee, the Executive Director of the California Health Benefit Exchange, estimated the decrease will be more like 500,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, California intends on going forward with its exchange even if the mandate is struck down, because the income-based subsidies that individual purchasers of insurance qualify for will remain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Peter Lee, who used to work on health policy in the Obama administration, said that the striking down of the individual mandate will absolutely not inhibit the ability of the exchange to go forward,” Mina Kim says. “Lee says he’s not even doing any contingency planning for the decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what if the entire law is struck down — meaning no subsidies for people to buy insurance on the exchange?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lee thinks for the justices to strike down all the parts of the health care law would be such an incredible overreach of judicial power, that it’s not even worth considering. That’s how he feels about it. California has already even contracted with an IT vendor to create an online portal for the exchange. But he’s willing to concede the mandate may be struck down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, state lawmakers could try to legislate around a decision striking down the mandate, creating something akin to it that would still meet constitutional muster. “There has been support for that in the past,” says Mina Kim. “There are lawmakers considering laws to that effect should the court strike the mandate down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What will stay no matter what the court rules? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
