Amicus Curiae Supporting Respondents On The Severability Issue – Pending Challenge to the ACA

The brief addresses a very narrow aspect of the case before the court-the severability of the individual mandate from the other market reform provisions, namely guaranteed issue and modified community rating. The brief does not take a position on the constitutionality of the individual mandate or whether any other provisions in the law are severable from the mandate-nor does it support or oppose the law as a whole.
