Supreme Court health law rulings could have big impact
- McClatchy Newspapers
"WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court will engage next week in a historic three-day showdown over health care, leading to decisions that could ensnare everyone from private citizens to the president of the United States.
During oral arguments longer than any seen since the mid-1960s, the court's nine justices must calculate whether the Obama administration's signature health-care law goes too far and violates the Constitution. The answer — or answers — will:
_ Determine who's covered by health insurance.
_ Control what laws Congress can pass.
_ Drive debate during the 2012 congressional and presidential campaigns.
"It's going to be enormous," said Kenneth Janda, a professor emeritus of political science at Northwestern University."
