RIP Obamacare? Federal judge strikes down Affordable Care Act as ‘unconstitutional’
A Texas federal judge has struck down the Affordable Care Act, ruling it can no longer be classed as a tax without a penalty for those who don’t buy health insurance. Without that tax, he wrote, “Obamacare” is unconstitutional.
The ruling is expected to be appealed to the Supreme Court and the law will remain in effect until the appeals process is over. The ACA previously withstood more than 70 unsuccessful repeal attempts.
As I predicted all along, Obamacare has been struck down as an UNCONSTITUTIONAL disaster! Now Congress must pass a STRONG law that provides GREAT healthcare and protects pre-existing conditions. Mitch and Nancy, get it done!
