    Cullen and Dykman LLPJames G. RyanMay 19, 2014

    A number of lawsuits have been commenced which challenge the legality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”). These lawsuits are primarily aimed at the government’s ability to enact the law and enforce its provisions—however, many of them focus on the Act’s requirement that employers provide insurance plans that cover a number of contraceptive methods, or face a monetary penalty.One of the most noteworthy of these cases is Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. v. Sebelius, 12-cv-01000 (W.D. Okla. 2012). Hobby Lobby is a chain of retail arts-and-crafts stores owned by the Green family of Oklahoma.
