The court will look at the ACA

Do I understand it correctly, that they will start hearing like next week but that a final decision not expected until the middle of next year?

If yes, than the new President the House and the Senate should be able to come with a new and improved ACA?

Barrett has already ruled against plaintiffs siting the ADA ( Americans with Disabilities Act). The GOP is eager to eliminate the accessibility obligations for businesses and special education in public schools. Watch for this before January 2021

There must be a remedy to whatever they discern as "unconstitutional".
