Health Care Ruling

January 31st, 2011 by flanews

A 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.
