DETROIT -- A Michigan-based Christian legal advocacy group is suing the federal government to stop the massive health care overhaul, claiming it's unconstitutional.
The lawsuit was filed immediately after President Barack Obama signed the overhaul bill Tuesday. It names Obama and the leaders of the U.S. departments of Health and Human Services, Treasury and Justice in their official capacities.
The Thomas More Law Center of Ann Arbor says the lawsuit was filed on behalf of itself and four people from southeast Michigan who don't have private health insurance and object to being told to purchase coverage.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.
The lawsuit comes as attorneys general from 13 states sued to stop the overhaul in federal court in Pensacola, Fla.
