Parnell: Alaska to Fight Federal Health Care Law

Tools

Steve Brawn

Republican Gov. Sean Parnell says Alaska will join a multistate lawsuit challenging the federal health care reform act President Obama and Congress passed into law last month.

Parnell and Attorney General Dan Sullivan made the announcement to reporters Tuesday.

Alaska and at least 20 other states claim a "mandate" on individuals to buy coverage is unconstitutional. They face tax penalties otherwise.

Florida is leading a 19-state lawsuit on these grounds. Virginia is also suing in a separate case.

The White House has said the lawsuits will fail.
