The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, was passed in its finality on March 21, 2010, and signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. Many aspects of the law prompted litigation, particularly the law's individual and employer mandate provisions, Medicaid expansion, and certain tax issues. Zubik v. Burwell
Pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court's 2014 decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, religious organizations and closely-held for-profit companies became eligible for an exemption from the Affordable Care Act's contraception mandate. Under the exemption, organizations could notify the government of their religious objections to contraception, which would then make an arrangement with the insurance company to provide contraceptive coverage to the employees. However, some religious organizations objected to the accommodation, arguing that they would still be complicit in providing contraception to their employees. On May 21, 2012, 43 different Catholic organizations filed 12 lawsuits against the Department of Health and Human Services, including Zubik v. Burwell, Priests for Life v. Health and Human Services, East Texas Baptist University v. Burwell, Southern Nazarene University v. Burwell, Eternal Word Television v. Burwell, Little Sisters of the Poor v. Burwell, Geneva College v. Burwell, Ave Maria University v. Burwell, Wheaton College v. Burwell, and University of Notre Dame v. Burwell. In February of 2014, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling against the University of Notre Dame in University of Notre Dame v. Burwell. In March of 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Seventh Circuit to reconsider the case in light of the court's holding in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby (2014).
