11th Circuit Ruling On PPACA Constitutionality
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 08.12.11
The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the PPACA health reform law's individual mandate is unconstitutional, but that the mandate provision is "severable" from the rest of the law, so no other part of the law is struck down. The court also rejected the challenge by state attorneys general to the expanded coverage mandates imposed on states electing to participate in the Medicaid program.

On Friday, April 10, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) has agreed to pay just over $17 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act (FCA) by failing to comply with federal anti-discrimination requirements incorporated into its federal contracts due to allegedly discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) employment practices. This resolution marks the first FCA settlement secured by the DOJ under its Civil Rights Fraud Initiative, created in May 2025, and announced by then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as part of the administration’s coordinated efforts to target allegedly unlawful DEI practices. Per the agreement, the settlement is neither an admission of liability by IBM nor a concession by the United States that its claims are not well founded.
