"ObamaCare" Legal Challenge Rundown

Dec 16th, 2010

Amy Goldstein of WaPo posted a thorough rundown of the legal challenges to HCR on Monday. Check out her chart examining the details of each. She wrote:

"Twenty-four lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordability Act are working their way through federal courts around the country. The cases contest many aspects of the law beyond the one that has drawn the greatest attention: the requirement that most Americans carry health insurance starting in 2014. Most of the suits still are before district court judges, but a few already have been ruled on and are being appealed to federal circuit courts. Legal experts predict that one or more of these cases eventually will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court."
