Supreme Court justices will consider this week whether they have the appetite for another major fight over President Barack Obama’s health care law, the Associated Press reports. Some of the same players who mounted a failed effort to kill the law outright now want the justices to rule that financial subsidies under the law are illegal. The group is challenging a federal appeals court ruling that IRS regulations allow subsidies in all 50 states. They argue that financial aid can be provided only in states that have set up their own insurance markets, not in states where the federal government runs the exchanges. The justices will decide whether to hear the case at their private conference Friday. The Memphis Daily News has more.
