Supreme Court Sets Schedule for Briefs in Healthcare Reform Case

The Supreme Court yesterday set a schedule for the briefs to be filed in advance of the Court's hearing of arguments regarding the healthcare reform law, according to a Reuters report.

The high court agreed in November to hear an appeal brought for by the Obama administration after an Atlanta appeals court struck down the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's individual mandate. The case being considered was originally filed by 26 states and an independent small business group.

The schedule set by the Supreme Court requires a first set of briefs due in January and February with reply briefs due in early March. The high court is scheduled to hear arguments in the case in March.
