As Attorney General, Cuccinelli filed suit against the federal government over the Affordable Care Act. The basis for that suit was HB 10, the Virginia Health Care Freedom Act. The legislation, which was written by ALEC, prohibits penalizing residents for failing to obtain health insurance coverage. ALEC touts on its website that this legislation has been introduced in at least 38 states. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit threw out Cuccinelli's suit, ruling that the Virginia Health Care Freedom Act did not provide him standing to sue. (Sources: ALEC, Washington Post)

ALEC Legislation
