In December, Texas federal judge Reed O’Connor concluded in a lawsuit brought by Republican-led states that the entire healthcare law is invalid because Congress eliminated the ACA’s individual insurance mandate penalty.

Democratic state attorneys general are challenging Mr. O’Connor’s decision, according to The Hill.
