The Supreme Court has announced that it plans to review the controversial healthcare reform law that requires minimum healthcare coverage.

Published in the Nov. 14 order list, the federal court granted writ of certiorari for the case of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services v. State of Florida, et al. “The parties are directed to brief and argue [an additional question]: ‘whether the suit brought by respondents to challenge the minimum coverage provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is barred by the Anti-Injunction Act,” the order list stated.

In January, Judge Roger Vinson of the Federal District Court in Pensacola, Fla., ruled that PPACA’s individual insurance mandate is unconstitutional and struck down the act in its entirety.
