AP Reports: Quinn Will Not Attempt to Challenge Healthcare Mandates in Court

CHICAGO (AP) — Gov. Pat Quinn says Illinois won't try to block the health care reform that Congress has passed.

Quinn on Monday said Illinois embraces the reforms, unlike other states.

Virginia already has announced a legal challenge. And a new Virginia law says its residents can't be forced by the government to have insurance.

Idaho's governor also has signed a measure requiring that state's attorney general to sue the federal government over mandates that require people to have coverage.

Quinn, however, says he doesn't think opponents will win in court.
