Federal judge rules Obamacare unconstitutional
2018-12-15
[Reuters] (Reuters) - A federal judge in Texas on Friday ruled the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, was unconstitutional based on its mandate requiring that people buy health insurance, a decision in a case that could reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth agreed with a coalition of 20 states that a change in tax law last year eliminating a penalty for not having health insurance invalidated the entire Obamacare law.

The coalition of states challenging the law was led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, both Republicans.

Republicans have opposed the 2010 law - the signature domestic policy achievement of Republican President Donald Trump’s Democratic predecessor Barack Obama - since its inception and have repeatedly tried and failed to repeal it.

#2  True, but it would still be nice to be able to get affordable insurance for some us who don't work for an employer that provides insurance. Ambetter is bullshit and my COBRA costs me roughly $600 per month.

#1  This is more greatness. Now Trump can blame the dems for all of the folks that are going to cry about no health care. Now the dems will have to come up with a bill to replace it. They will be mired in this for years...
