U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Arguments on Health Care Law Next Week
By: John Walton
Updated: March 19, 2012
Three days of oral arguments will begin next Monday at the U.S. Supreme court over the health care reform law.
Each day will center on a different aspect of the healthcare law. 26 states, including Louisiana, is suing the federal government over the law.
The most controversial parts of the law -- such as requiring all Americans to enroll in a health care plan or pay a penalty and setting up a federal health care insurance exchange, where people can compare and shop for plans -- won't go into effect until 2014.
