Michigan challenge to health law begins
The Detroit News: On Wednesday, “[a] federal judge heard arguments [in the] lawsuit that is being watched nationwide for its challenge of congressional authority to reform health care in a way that would penalize citizens who fail to obtain their own health insurance.” The attorney for one plaintiff, The Thomas More Law Center, a group espousing religious principles, said, “There is no precedent for this power grab” (Guthrie, 7/22).
