In ruling against President Obama‘s health care law,.....

[Handballer]

In ruling against President Obama‘s health care law, federal Judge Roger Vinson used Mr. Obama‘s own position from the 2008 campaign against him, arguing that there are other ways to tackle health care short of requiring every American to purchase insurance.

“I note that in 2008, then-Senator Obama supported a health care reform proposal that did not include an individual mandate because he was at that time strongly opposed to the idea, stating that ‘if a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house,’” Judge Vinson wrote in a footnote toward the end of the 78-page ruling Monday.

How about gathering a listing of all the things that are in the HCPlan that do not pertain to health care. And a listing of every person, group, organization given exemption.

This one sustains that it IS fully within the Constitution-

this is an Appeals Court case to.


U.S. Court of Appeals finds the Obama Health Care bill is Constitutional:

This opinion is divided into several parts. First, it provides background on the
Affordable Care Act and the minimum coverage provision. Second, it addresses this
Court’s jurisdiction. Third, it considers whether the provision is authorized by the
Commerce Clause of the Constitution. Fourth, it declines to address whether the
provision is authorized by the General Welfare Clause.

We find that the minimum coverage provision is a valid exercise of legislative power
by Congress under the Commerce Clause and therefore AFFIRM the decision of the district court.

They found it Constitutional at the Appeals Court level.
