Five more states will join the original 13 states in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the health reform law’s mandate for Americans to have health insurance coverage, according to a release by Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, who originally filed the suit.
The newcomers are Indiana, North Dakota, Mississippi, Nevada and Arizona. They join Florida, South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Louisiana, Alabama, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington, Idaho and South Dakota.
The Florida lawsuit also alleges that the new law imposes “an unlawful direct tax” and “onerous new operating rules” that infringe on state sovereignty.
