PRESS CALL: Legal and Policy Experts Discuss Florida Repeal Suit

Washington, D.C. – On Monday, U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson is expected to release his ruling on highly politicized efforts to repeal health care in Florida and 26 other states.

Please join CAP Chief Operating Officer and former senior advisor to President Obama’s health reform team Neera Tanden, along with legal scholars Tim Jost and Walter Dellinger to discuss the impact of efforts to repeal health care.

For more information about the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, please see the statement signed by more than 100 legal scholars, including Mr. Dellinger and Mr. Jost, explaining why “the current challenges to the constitutionality of this legislation seek to jettison nearly two centuries of settled constitutional law.” Additionally, please see Ian Millhiser of the Center for American Progress’s primer on health reform’s clear constitutionality.

What: Press call to discuss Judge Vinson’s decision regarding efforts to repeal health care.

Who:

Neera Tanden, CAP Chief Operating Officer

Walter Dellinger, Chair of the Appellate Practice at O’Melveny & Meyers
