Today, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it will review a Florida lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act. The challengers, who include Republican governors and attorney generals from 26 states, contend that Congress has exceeded its authority under the Constitution by passing the Act and requiring individuals to carry health insurance or pay a penalty. The Court is expected to hear oral arguments on the case in March and to issue a ruling in June.
