The non-profit physicians group filed the suit just one day after reform was signed into law in March.
The suit argued that the law barred physicians from accepting direct payment from patients, since all will be required to have insurance of face fines. The judge, however, ruled that the law doesn’t actually prevent accepting direct payment from a patient.
The plaintiffs have already filed an appeal of the dismissal, according to the report.
