Whitman Unsure on Joining Health Care Reform Lawsuit
Meg Whitman, GOP gubernatorial candidate, is uncertain whether she would have California join a lawsuit against the health reform law's individual mandate, which requires residents to obtain insurance or face a penalty. Darrel Ng, a campaign spokesperson, said Whitman will not say whether she would support the lawsuit until a ruling is made on a suit filed by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R).
