That's the reason why there are people who trust <a href="http://www.infolongtermcare.org/" rel="nofollow">ltc insurance</a>. However, LTC and other health insurance cover lots of benefits, everyone must be aware what are the latest policies, especially for this one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987256109386500902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281002358133280991.post-1490047715194169162012-01-12T19:01:50.838-05:002012-01-12T19:01:50.838-05:00@ddoublep thanks for your comment and great questi...@ddoublep thanks for your comment and great question! <br /><br />I believe that is part of the debate that the Supreme Court will have to settle. What you stated is essentially the States' argument - that the Anti-Injunction Act (AIA) doesn't apply to them and so they can bring suit when they want. But the government argues that the word "individual" is not important in regards to the AIA, because making that distinction goes against the AIA's purpose and original intent, which is to preserve the government’s ability to assess and collect taxes with minimal court interference (ie, until the tax is actually collected).* They further argue that the tax/penalty provision only applies to actual persons; so, states/entities do not have standing to challenge something not applicable to them.** <br /><br />I hope that answers your question. If not, please ask me for clarification! <br /><br />*See pg. 15-20: http://www.supremecourt.gov/docket/PDFs/11-438%20BIO.pdf<br />** See pg. 15, footnote 7: same linkHealthLawJunkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12686785362839738615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281002358133280991.post-49232005497785979092012-01-12T00:16:17.067-05:002012-01-12T00:16:17.067-05:00Is this only applicable to individuals?

Which is to say, wouldn't the States or even insurance companies have legal standing to challenge the law as a "whole" because they've already been subjected to parts of it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
