Audio: Federal Courts Weigh The Health Law

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to fast-track Virginia’s challenge to the new health law, which means the more than two dozen challenges to the law will continue to work their way through federal courts for a year or more.

KHN’s Bara Vaida joined Santa Clara University professor Brad Joondeph and the Washington Post’s Marc Fisher Wednesday to discuss the progress of legal challenges to the law on the syndicated public radio Kojo Nnamdi Show.
