Affordable Care Act Continues to Face Legal Challenges

Last spring, 26 states filed lawsuits against business organizations and Affordable Care Act, President Obama. Forty of these complaints come from churches, hospitals, schools and religious institutions that oppose the inclusion of contraception and abortion in the new health care law.

These cases were brought to the Supreme Court and federal law just confirmed by a 5-4 verdict. But unrest will continue and most likely in other lawsuits. Not all complaints are against birth control and abortion issue. Highlight some of the privacy issues and complaints is the legality of sanctions and imposing taxes on those who do not buy insurance.
