Iowa Joins Heath Care Lawsuit

Gov. Terry Branstad has joined 25 other states in a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the health care reform bill approved last year by Congress. The suit challenges the individual mandate of the health care reform law, as well as the expansion of Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance program for low-income people. A House vote is expected later today to repeal the whole health care law. It's expected to pass, but be blocked in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
