PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Six more states joined a lawsuit in Florida against President Obama's health care overhaul on Tuesday, meaning more than half of the country is challenging the law.The announcement was made as House members in Washington, led by Republicans, debated whether to repeal the law.The six additional states, all with Republican attorneys general, joined Florida and 19 others in the legal action, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said."It sends a strong message that more than half of the states consider the health care law unconstitutional and are willing to fight it in court," she said in a statement.The states claim the health care law is unconstitutional and violates people's rights by forcing them to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties.
