Attorney General Corbett files lawsuit challenging constitutionality of health care reform law

March 23, 2010

HARRISBURG – Attorney General Tom Corbett today joined attorneys general from 12 other states in filing a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the health care reform legislation, signed into law by President Obama.

Corbett said the health care law imposes an unconstitutional mandate requiring citizens to purchase health insurance.

\”Congress does not have the constitutional authority to enact this requirement,\” Corbett said. \”This law threatens every citizen\’s individual liberties.\”
