Tennessee lawyer files class action suit against Obamacare

Technically, it isn’t a class action suit yet, but is expected to be very shortly.

On Thursday Van Irion, a Congressional candidate and Constitutional lawyer, filed a lawsuit against Obamacare following the Tennessee Attorney General’s refusal to do so:

Third District Congressional candidate Van Irion said in just three days, more than 500 individuals and companies from 30 states have joined his federal lawsuit “against Obamacare.”

On Thursday, the attorney filed a constitutional challenge to the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” in Chattanooga Federal Court. He filed suit two days after Tennessee Attorney General Robert Cooper announced that his office would not be filing suit on behalf of Tennessee citizens

In the days since filing the lawsuit, Irion says that he has had over 600 people request to join the suit:

“We’ve been stunned at the response,” Irion said. “We immediately started getting requests to join the lawsuit from people and companies all across the US. We then decided to represent any US citizens and companies. The count is now 600 and we expect to reach 1000 plaintiffs within a week.”

Once Irion has collected enough names of people and companies wishing to join this lawsuit, he will file a motion to join all of those individuals to his lawsuit and expects that the case will be certified a class action at that point.
