US-POLITICS-HEALTH-COURT
Felina martinez (L) is checked by dentist Irina Rayfeld from Commerce Dental during a free clinic to provide some healthcare to the one in four Californians who lack health insurance and services, at the ICDC medical training college in Los Angeles on March 24, 2010. The White House said it was confident President Barack Obama's health reform law had a solid legal foundation after 14 states vowed to challenge it on constitutional grounds. As soon as Obama signed the historic legislation into law on Tuesday, marking a famous political triumph, the group of state governments which oppose the plan lodged a flurry of legal challenges. Virginia filed suit claiming the health care package violates the US Constitution by requiring every citizen to buy health insurance or pay a fine. Thirteen other states issued challenges claiming that the new law violates the 10th amendment to the Constitution, which reserves powers not specifically granted to the federal government to the states.
