Obama's Health Care Law upheld again
A federal court in Washington has held that President Obama's health care law is constitutional. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia dismissed a claim from a Christian legal group that a provision in the law requiring almost all Americans to get health insurance, known as the individual mandate, violates the Constitution. The opinion was written by Judge Laurence Silberman who is known as a conservative. The suit was just one of several that have sought to have the law brought down. Of four appellate court rulings on the health care law so far, this is the third to deal with the law on the merits, and the second that upholds it a tally compiled by Kaiser Health News. It's almost certain that the issue will be resolved by the Supreme Court, perhaps as early as June 2012.
