While 13 states have filed lawsuits against the federal government in reaction to the recently passed Health Care reform bill, don't expect one from the state of Illinois. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has no plans to do so in spite of a letter signed by Republican reps from around the state. The point of contention for those lawsuits filed by other states is the mandate requiring the purchase of health care coverage. [WBEZ]
