This issue centers on the Supreme Court decision to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The authors were asked to analyze any aspect of the decision, and the resulting articles reveal complex insights into American health policy. Several themes run throughout the issue, including how the conventional wisdom of the Court was anything but conventional, how the justices discussed health policy and the nature of health care markets in light of the case, and the role of federalism in health care policy. A special section of the issue focuses on the policy and politics of reproductive health in the post-ACA world. Lynn Paltrow and Jeanne Flavin offer an in-depth look at criminal and civil cases in which a woman’s pregnancy was a necessary factor leading to attempted and actual deprivations of her physical liberty. Another article examines how the idea of maternalism has shaped maternal and women’s health and how that social construct has been used as a strategy for larger population goals. Other articles address the broader impacts of the ACA in improving women’s overall reproductive health.
