The Affordable Care Act could be before the high court again late next year. The case, from Liberty University in Virginia, challenges the employer mandate and the requirement for employers to cover contraceptives, arguing the provisions violate the school’s religious freedom. A federal appeals court had earlier said it couldn’t make a ruling since the provisions it was to rule on hadn’t come into effect, but the Supreme Court disagreed with such a viewpoint, and ordered the case be heard again in an appeals court in Virginia.
