Judge Calls Health Law Unconstitutional
This is probably where it will fail, won't be sorry to see it go either. Maybe if they start over they can do it properly. Which doesn't involve shoveling extra billions of what are in effect tax payer dollars into insurance company coffers.

Unfortunately, due to the Democrats' inability to get anything done even when given a mandate unlike this country had seen since the Great Depression and the Neoconservatives ability to lie convincingly to stupid people, we will not see that happen for another 25 years.Aabidano wrote:Maybe if they start over they can do it properly.

Re: Judge Calls Health Law Unconstitutional
So far, the mandate has been ruled by three judges. The two Democratic-appointed judges upheld it, while the Republican-appointed judge ruled it unconstitutional. The next ruling should be by a Reagan-appointed judge in Florida, and there should be no surprises with his ruling, unless he upholds it.
Also, in Virginia, where this judge presides, drivers who don't purchase car insurance must pay the state $500.

Don't confuse him with facts.

Also there's the liability issue. Car and health insurance are not analogous. I can't kill you with my cancer. I can kill you with my Toyota.
