The Supreme Court's ruling on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will have a major impact on the presidential campaign, says Timothy D. McBride, PhD, health economist and associate dean for public health at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis. "The health reform legislation was the signature piece of social legislation passed by President (Barack) Obama's administration in his first term," he says. How the court's decision will influence the election could be quite complex, says McBride.
