The Affordable Care Act, colloquially Obamacare, was signed into law in 2010 and contained many reforms of the US healthcare system.

Since then, several provisions have been amended or removed, either legislatively (the individual mandate was zeroed out in 2017), or judicially (parts of the incentives for Medicaid expansion were overruled by the Supreme Court in 2012).

Which provisions will continue to be in effect on January 1, 2029?

For cases where a provision is tweaked but not removed, I will resolve to Yes if the new law as of 2029 subsumes/implies the old law and No if the old law subsumes the new law.

For example, for "Dependents can stay on parents' insurance until age 26”, if the cutoff were raised to 27, I would resolve as Yes, and if it were lowered to 25, I would resolve as No.

As another example, with the individual mandate penalty functionally set to $0, as it was in 2017, I would have resolved a question about the individual mandate surviving as No even if the language of the mandate is still law.
