DJP Update 12-13-2010 PPACA individual mandate ruled unconstitutional by Federal Judge in Virginia
See the entire 42 page opinion at: http://is.gd/iGdvP
or
Excerpts:
“Whether the Minimum Essential Coverage Provision, which requires an individual to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty, is borne of a constitutionally-enumerated power, is the core issue in this case.”
—–
“On careful review, the Court must conclude that Section 1501 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act–specifically the Minimum Essential Coverage Provision–exceeds the constitutional boundaries of congressional power.”
DJP Comment:
Haste in drafting laws and rushing through Congress makes waste! Now the “spin” will start.
Stay well,
