Sixth circuit hears Obamacare appeal

Earlier today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit heard a suit challenging the national health care law, and Cato’s Ilya Shapiro, who was on hand for the oral arguments, found reason for opponents of the law to be “cautiously optimistic.”

The court first considered the Obama administration’s motion to dismiss the suit on the grounds that one of the original plaintiffs challenging the law’s requirement that individuals purchase insurance subsequently obtained health insurance.
