Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Gov. Sam Brownback both say the decision to fast-track an appeal of the federal health care reform law is needed to end uncertainty for businesses and governments trying plan for their financial obligations.

A federal appeals court granted a request Monday by Kansas and 25 other states to expedite its review of a district court decision that the federal health care law is unconstitutional. Oral arguments on the law could be heard as early as this summer.

“It is important to resolve this lawsuit as quickly as possible. States are in the midst of building their budget plans and need to know now whether they should begin preparing for the tremendous financial burden of the federal health care law,” Brownback said. “I am pleased states will not endure years of litigation. A quick resolution by the Court will provide finality for states, businesses, health care providers and citizens, and possibly avoid the implementation of the costly, burdensome and overreaching bill.”
