WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says the Obama administration has devised no contingency plans in the event the Supreme Court holds any portion of the health care law unconstitutional.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says that after three days of oral arguments before the Supreme Court, the White House remains confident that the court will uphold the law.
Earnest said Wednesday the White House is focused on enacting all the provisions of the law, not on how to proceed if the court strikes down certain parts of the law.
Earnest faced a barrage of questions Wednesday in the face of skepticism voiced by conservative justices that indicated that the law's key provision requiring most Americans to obtain health insurance was in jeopardy.
