A federal appeals court on Thursday dismissed one of the highest-profile challenges to President Obama's healthcare reform law.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals said Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) does not have a legal right to sue over the law's requirement that most people buy insurance. The court vacated a lower court's ruling in the case and instructed the lower court to dismiss the suit.
