“The Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act sets as the policy of the Commonwealth that no individual, with several specific exceptions, can be required to purchase health insurance coverage.”

Wow.

So the average guy/gal on the street in Virginia gets to decide which law (State or Federal) to follow?

What a mess the Democrats have created. I think I need to go to law school, as the lawyers will be tied up with this for decades.

What a waste of resources and effort.

I think you are missing the point. I read this as more a case of Virginia invoking its rights under the 10th Amendment. The Constitution does not grant the Federal government the right to mandate individuals purchase insurance and Virginia is protecting its citizens from an unlawful curbing of their liberty.

Mebbe that’s a side bennie - throwing a bone to the RAT lawyers (which are most lawyers.)
