Supreme Court Justices Zero In on Key Provision of Health-Care Law TUESDAY, March 27 (HealthDay News) -- The individual mandate -- the portion of the Affordable Care Act that requires Americans to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty -- appeared threatened during U.S. Supreme Court arguments made on Tuesday. Justices Split in Questions on Insurance Mandate Skeptical questions for an administration lawyer from four of the Supreme Court justices suggested that a 5-to-4 decision to strike down the Affordable Care Act was a live possibility. Health Law Seen in Jeopardy After Justices' Questions U.S. Supreme Court justices hinted they might strike down President Barack Obama's health-care law as the court's Republican appointees suggested Congress went too far by requiring Americans to obtain insurance.

(AP Photo/Dana Verkouteren) Supreme Court justices battered Obama's solicitor general, Donald Verrilli Jr., with questions today, prodding him to explain why the government could compel Americans to buy health care insurance and not, for example, force them to purchase broccoli or burial insurance. Verrilli appeared to stumble over his words [...] The Court tees up the health mandate Amid sure signs that the Supreme Court Justices are deeply interested in the constitutionality of the new health care law's key sections, and definite signs that they have been studying up for the task, they moved on Monday to get beyond the preliminaries and get set for Tuesday's crucial two-hour hearing. Supreme Court justices signal deep trouble for health care law If the government can force people to buy health insurance, justices wanted to know, can it require people to buy burial insurance? Cellphones? Broccoli? Individual mandate divides court In one of the most highly anticipated Supreme Court hearings in years, the justices on Tuesday offered sharply divided views on the controversial individual mandate provision at the heart of the 2010 federal health care reform law. Supreme Court justices focus on 19th century law during first day of arguments over health care law Tuesday's arguments will focus on the provision that aims to extend medical insurance to 30 million Americans by requiring everyone to carry insurance or pay a penalty. Supreme Court divided over health care mandate On day one of the Supreme Court's epic examination of the constitutionality of health care reform, the justices could not help looking ahead to Tuesday's arguments and the more significant questions over the power of Congress. Justices weigh mandate to buy health insurance WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court's conservative justices appeared deeply critical Tuesday of the requirement that all Americans purchase health insurance.
