Six years after its enactment, Obamacare remains one of the most controversial, divisive, and enduring political issues in america. In this much-anticipated follow-up to his critically acclaimed Unprecedented: The Constitutional Challenge to Obamacare (2013), Professor Blackman argues that, to implement the law, President Obama has broken promises about cancelled insurance policies, exceeded the traditional bounds of executive power, and infringed on religious liberty. at the same time, conservative opponents have stopped at nothing to unravel Obamacare, including a three-week government shutdown, four Supreme Court cases, and fifty repeal votes. This legal thriller provides the definitive account of the battle to stop Obamacare from being “woven into the fabric of america.” Unraveled is essential reading to understand the future of the affordable Care act in our gridlocked government in 2016, and beyond. 

Professor Blackman will discuss his new book Unraveled: Obamacare, Religious Liberty, and Executive Power
