The US Supreme Court on Tuesday denied requests to expedite consideration of a legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act (ACT). The decision means that the court will not hear the challenge before the current term ends in June.
The petition to fast-track the case was brought by 19 states lead by California earlier this month and requested the high court hear the case on the last day scheduled for arguments this term, April 26, or add a special day to hear the case in May, a move the Supreme Court rarely does.
