AG to join challenge to federal health care bill


HARRISBURG, Pa. - Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett is planning to join a legal challenge to federal health care reform legislation.

Corbett's office said Monday he is working with counterparts in at least 10 other states on a strategy to challenge the constitutionality of the bill. It is not clear where the challenge will be filed or what aspect of the bill the suit will challenge.

In addition, Republican state Sen. Mike Folmer says he plans to introduce a bill to prevent Pennsylvanians from being charged a fine if they don't get health insurance.

President Barack Obama is preparing to sign the bill that passed the U.S. House last night. Under the bill, almost everyone is required to get health insurance or else pay a fine, which takes effect in 2014.
