The organization has hired three law firms to make the case in Federal Court that the new law, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, violates protections afforded by the Bill of Rights to Americans.
Among other violations, the association believes the First Amendment guarantees their members the right to “not associate” with anybody they choose not to. And that includes health insurers and their agents. In addition, the association believes their members’ privacy may be violated, when forced to divulge confidential information.
The lawyers chosen to handle the history-making lawsuit include William G. Williams of Krugliak, Wilkins, Griffiths & Dougherty Co., L.P.A., in Canton, Ohio; Jonathan Emord of Emord & Associates in Washington, D.C.; and David C. Grossack of Newton, Massachusetts.
