More states may sign on to the lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. I spoke to Kathleen Sebelius, the Health and Human Services secretary, today and she said, “I’m sure with the turnover, there will be more states joining the lawsuit.”
Sebelius also said she still expects “pragmatic” governors to move forward with implementing the ACA regardless of whether they are challenging the law in court. One example that comes to mind is Virginia, where Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has filed a lawsuit and Gov. Robert McDonnell has set up an ACA implementation task force.
