It is Time to Expand Medicaid Coverage in South Carolina When it validated the constitutionality of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2012, the United States Supreme Court also ruled that states could decide for themselves whether or not to expand their Medicaid programs (Sonfield, 2012).

whether the national tariff policy between 1816 and 1832 impacted the development and acceptance of the nullification doctrine in South Carolina?
