Editor's Note (2026)

This article was written in 2011, shortly after the Affordable Care Act became law. Since then, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law's core provisions in 2012 (National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius) and later turned back further major challenges. Congress reduced the individual mandate penalty to zero beginning in 2019. Coverage rules, marketplace subsidies and state policies continue to change, so check HealthCare.gov or your state's insurance marketplace for current information about plans that include chiropractic benefits.
