Last month, the Obama appealed a federal appeals court’s decision in the case, brought by the NFIB, which represents 350,000 small businesses, and its co-plaintiffs — the attorneys general of 26 states. In August, three-judge panel for the Atlanta Circuit Court of Appeals court struck the individual mandate; appeals courts in Richmond, Va., and Cincinnati rejected challenges to the law, according to the report.
In its brief, the NFIB asks the Supreme Court to strike, not just the mandate, but the entire healthcare reform law.
