The Health Care Mandate: America's Political 'Third Rail'
National Constitution Center - James A. Byrne Federal Courthouse
The National Constitution Center presents this moot court on healthcare reform in America. Can the Obama Administration's health care reform law – the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act – withstand constitutional scrutiny? Just one week before the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in the case of Department of Health and Human Services v. Florida, the National Constitution Center puts the law to the test during its annual Peter Jennings Project moot court program. Neal Katyal former Acting Solicitor General in the Obama Administration, will represent the federal government; Charles Rothfeld, a D.C. attorney and director of the Yale Law School Supreme Court Clinic, will oppose him. Former appellate court judge Timothy K. Lewis presides, alongside a stellar panel of federal judges, distinguished law professors, and other well-known legal thinkers. This program is made possible with support from the Foundation to Promote Open Society."
