The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (generally
referred to as the Affordable Care Act, or ACA) is the most
monumental piece of U.S. federal health policymaking in nearly 50
years. It reorders not only many aspects of the health insurance
and healthcare delivery systems but also long-standing
relationships that underpin those systems. Yet beyond the sheer
scope and content of the ACA and the policy trade-offs that led to
its passage lies another story: its implementation and subsequent
effect on the lives of tens of millions of Americans. In addition,
there no doubt will be legal rulings in state and federal courts
across the country that will alter the trajectory of the law and
its implementation. (Teitelbaum & Wilensky, 2017, p. 169)
When President Barack Obama introduced the Affordable Health
Care Act (ACA), several states banded together to challenge its
constitutionality. On January 31, 2011, a federal judge ruled parts
of the act unconstitutional. Obama's law team formally appealed the
decision in Florida et al. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services et al. Access the appeal , and read pages 55-67 (starting
with the following section: "B. Congress's Power Under the Spending
Clause").

3. the argument for appeal presented by President Obama's
team
4. the negative implications of the legal aspects in this case
on public health research and practice and recommended actions to
address the identified challenges
5.the strategies that can be taken by public health stakeholders
and leaders to transform public health research findings into
