>It sounds like the argument is that the individual mandate to have health insurance has been repealed
Their argument doesn't work as the Federal individual mandate for insurance stands as law but has no penalty or requirement to report. The basically declawed that component of the ACA. It is not considered for any applications/forms/fees/etc and you no longer need a waiver.
With that in mind, the mandate for insurers to cover regardless of preexisting conditions should stand based on the 2012 decision but that doesn't mean it cannot also be declawed by congress. There are many laws like this, many of which rely on department head for discipline actions or censure but they can simply not do that. This is a common theme among the current administration where ethics laws are constantly broken but there is not mandatory fine or penalty so as long as the manager assigned to judge the penalty fails to oversee their employees, our checks and balances mean nothing.
> Starting with the 2019 plan year (for which you’ll file taxes by July 15, 2020), the Shared Responsibility Payment no longer applies.
