Oklahoma Sues Over Obamacare Employer Mandate

If successful, the mandate would be knocked down in states that decline to implement health insurance exchanges

|

Yesterday, the attorney general of Oklahoma amended that state's ObamaCare lawsuit. The amended complaint asks a federal court to clarify the Supreme Court's ruling in NFIB v. Sebelius, but it also challenges an IRS rule that imposes ObamaCare's employer mandate where the statute does not authorize it: on employers in the 30 to 40 states that decline to implement a health insurance "exchange."
