When the national health care law now known as ObamaCare passed into law on March 23, 2010, few foresaw the immediate effect it would have on the country. One who did was constitutional scholar David B. Rivkin Jr., the lawyer who led 26 state plaintiffs and the National Federation of Independent Business in a successful Florida lawsuit that found the law unconstitutional.
In conjunction with the one-year anniversary of the House passing the law, the Cato Institute is holding a special half-day conference in Washington, D.C. on Monday, March 21, 2011 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. to look at where the Affordable Care Act is now and where it might be heading.
Mr. Rivkin will provide the opening keynote address and join a panel of constitutional scholars in a debate over the merits of the two dozen legal challenges brought against the law and their likelihood of success before the Supreme Court. Health care experts will then debate how the law has already affected America's health care sector, labor markets, the federal budget, and what impact it will have in the future.
