Health Care Ruling
January 31st, 2011 by flanewsA Federal Judge in Pensacola has ruled the new health care law unconstitutional.
The ruling is in favor of Florida and 25 other states that challenged the federal regulations, claiming a provision requiring citizens to purchase health insurance was unconstitutional. The states’ suit also claimed a provision opening up the Medicaid roles was also out-of-bounds. Attorney General Pam Bondi says since a judge found the insurance mandate unconstitutional then the entire health care law is illegal. The Obama administration will likely challenge the ruling in a federal appeals court. Everyone expects this case to end up in the US Supreme Court.
