Health Care goes to Supreme Court
September 28th, 2011 by flanewsFlorida is joining 25 other states in asking the US Supreme Court to hear its case against the US Affordable Care Act.
Attorney General Pam Bondi made it official today filing in the nation’s highest court. This comes after President Barack Obama announced he wouldn’t seek an appeal of a lower court’s decision against the insurance mandate provision in the law. Bondi says if the insurance mandate is unconstitutional then the entire law should be thrown out.
“If the mandate is unconstitutional then we firmly believe that the entire health care act is unconstitutional,” said Bondi.
Both President Obama and the Attorneys General are in agreement in forgoing an appeal, which means this case could be over before the country picks its next president.
