Federal Judge Strikes Down Obamacare
As I predicted all along, Obamacare has been struck down as an UNCONSTITUTIONAL disaster! Now Congress must pass a STRONG law that provides GREAT healthcare and protects pre-existing conditions. Mitch and Nancy, get it done!

Wow, but not surprisingly, ObamaCare was just ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL by a highly respected judge in Texas. Great news for America!

President Trump on ACA: “It was a great ruling for our country. We’ll be able to get great health care. We’ll sit down with the Democrats when the Supreme Court upholds.” https://t.co/wsyhLCCTAd pic.twitter.com/EmNyVMZwTb

LMAO. As support for single-payer reaches historic highs, Republicans counter with “healthcare freedom” — a thing the vast majority of Americans don’t want https://t.co/bwikQJTrPa

The Democrats were huge fans of federal judges in lower courts issuing national rulings that stymied Trump’s agenda until yesterday evening:
“HOUSTON — In the 11 years Judge Reed O’Connor has been on the federal bench, he has become a favorite of Republican leaders in Texas, reliably tossing out Democratic policies they have challenged.
The state’s Republican attorney general appears to strategically file key lawsuits in Judge O’Connor’s jurisdiction, the Northern District of Texas, so that he will hear them. And on Friday, the judge handed Republicans another victory by striking down the Affordable Care Act, the signature health law of the Obama era.
Judge O’Connor, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush, has been at the center of some of the most contentious and partisan cases involving federal power and states’ rights, and has sided with conservative leaders in previous challenges to the health law and against efforts to expand transgender rights. …
No one questions his expertise on the law. But his rulings illustrate the ways in which the federal district courts have become politically weaponized, as Republicans and Democrats alike try to handpick judges they see as ideologically friendly to their cases. …”
Wow, the salt in this article.
O’Connor struck down all of Obamacare, not just the individual mandate that was nullified by the GOP Congress in the tax reform bill that was passed a year ago:
“A federal judge in Texas threw a dagger into the Affordable Care Act on Friday, ruling that the entire health-care law is unconstitutional because of a recent change in federal tax law.
The opinion by U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor overturns all of the sprawling law nationwide.
The ruling came on the eve of the deadline for Americans to sign up for coverage in the federal insurance exchange created under the law. …”
What happens now?
Probably nothing in the incoming Congress due to partisan gridlock. Health care in the United States will continue to be wildly dysfunctional and unaffordable.
