(HealthNewsDigest.com) – A Florida federal judge on Monday ruled that a key plank of the health overhaul passed last March is unconstitutional, dealing a second judicial blow to the Obama administration’s signature legislative achievement.
The case is considered the most high-profile of a series of federal lawsuits against the health overhaul. Attorneys general and governors from 20 states initially filed the lawsuit, and six more got behind it earlier this month. In his ruling, Judge Roger Vinson, a Republican appointee, said that the law’s requirement that individuals carry insurance or pay a fee “is outside” Congress’s commerce clause and is “is not constitutional.”
