Supreme Court Allows Obamacare Challenge by Liberty University

 

A lawsuit brought by Liberty University challenging part of the Affordable Care Act’s (Obamacare) requirement for employers to fund birth control through insurance for employees has been given new life.

Fox News reported that the Supreme Court on Monday ordered 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., to reconsider the suit, which argues that the employer mandate in the law violates protection of religious practice held in the First Amendment.

Although the Court upheld Obamacare in a 2012 on the basis that it is built around a legal tax, the ruling did not say lawsuits could not be filed which challenge other parts of the law.
