you realize this is literally only as of the ACA in 2010? and if the trump administration has its way (there's a supreme court case on the docket to completely kill ACA) we're going back to that?

The Trump administration is neither plaintiff nor defendant in the court case you refer to.

If filing a Friend of the Court brief counts as "having its way", then the ACLU "has its way" on a majority of SCOTUS cases.

like I said: what is your point other than to mislead? you still have not made any positive claims
