Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court wrapped up three days of health care oral arguments this afternoon with a discussion of whether the national health care law’s expansion of Medicaid was unconstitutional.

Paul Clement, arguing on behalf of 26 states led by Florida, made the case that the expansion of the joint federal/state Medicaid program was coercive to states. Under the health care law, Clement said, if states don’t go along with the expansion, they not only lose out on the new money, but risk forgoing the money that they already receive to implement the existing Medicaid program — a figure that totals $3.3 trillion over 10 years.
