(NewsCore) - A Florida federal judge ruled Monday in a 26-state challenge to the national health care law that the provision requiring individuals to purchase health insurance by 2014 or suffer a penalty is unconstitutional, Fox News Channel reported.
Excerpt, see myfoxdetroit
They can’t keep preexisting-condition coverage without the individual mandate. Then everyone would wait until they need it to buy “insurance.” We will end up with single-payer or nothing, if SCOTUS goes along with this.
Having nothing would be imminently better than Obamacare or single payer. There are so many better ways to deal with this. How about letting physicians come up with a plan? If the public doesn't like it, don't implement it. I guarantee the public will like a plan put together by physicians a lot better than a plan put together by the lawyers in Congress.
I can beat your example—there’s boneheads at the DUmp complaining because, now that this has been struck down by a ‘Reaganite activist judge’, quote “BABIES WILL DIE” unquote because they won’t have access to free health care...:-O
Oh, the irony...the horrific irony. Do these people even know what comes out of their brains???
It is pure ignorance, topped off with jingoistic smears they hear from the Socialist scum that infect their brains.
Boy you know how to turn the knife.
Very well said!
We love you Ronnie!
Oh, yes, I share your sentiments. With every defeat that this wanna be president sees, it is a triumph for America.

As one person posted: “The music alone is PROOF there is a God.”
Greatness is a gift from God.
Does not come from the backroom dealings of narcissitic meglomanics.
Hallelujah!
I don’t like people with pre-existing conditions being denied coverage. BUT and it’s a big BUT. I’m not willing to shread the Constitution to get it. (I don’t have this problem)
Black, the same color as his heart and soul.
Judge Vinson’s decision is good news, and we all hope that it will prevail when Obamacare finally reaches the Supreme Court two years from now. However, that is not certain, and there remain substantial political powers who regard this vast extension of federal power as constitutional based upon the Supreme Court’s vast expansion of the interstate commerce clause since 1937. The only sure way to stop not only Obamacare, but the innumerable other ways in which the federal government has increased its power beyond the original scope of the Constitution, is to reverse those Supreme Court cases and restore the interstate commerce clause to its original meaning. Given how entrenched these Supreme Court precedents are, this will require a constitutional amendment restating the original, very limited scope of the interstate commerce clause.

“When was the last time you called a doctor and said you needed to see him and couldn’t pay?”
I would not do that and did not do that for the decades I was uninsured.
I called and asked what the charges were, and made sure I had funds to cover or a good credit card for my visit.
Honestly.
Had I been in an ER situation like the rest of America I would have received a bill. I would have negotiated payments on that bill, used my credit cards, asked relatives for some help in an extreme situation.
A person without credit has a harder time but there is generally a good reason a person has no credit. They either have not sought it or are not credit worthy.
We must be responsible for our own health care, or force others to be, or go without.
I choose option #1.
“he will have to play the game by the rules as they are, not how he wants the rules to be.”
I’d like that to be true but remember how the D’s “deemed it passed” contrary to the rules.
“Yes, I understand, they go to the ER when they have an emergency condition. “
No, you can go to the ER for any condition at all. In hospitals around here people go in for colds and flus.
The house needs to have hearings on the push behind zerocare and the back room dealings. They can gin up public outrage over the way the bill was rammed without the public or lawmakers even having an opportunity to read the bill. Get as much of this out as possible to outrage the public.
“I don’t like people with pre-existing conditions being denied coverage.’
I do, because I liken it to buying fire insurance once your house is on fire.
Insurance is voluntary, shared risk.
It is no longer a “risk” if you are already seriously ill.
I think once you become an adult you must take responsibility for your own health care.
I further think you should be responsible for the health care of your dependents, and if you refuse to provide it you should be treated as one who refuses to provide food and clothing and shelter.
I say refuse, not “be unable to,” if there are minors whose parents have done all they can I have no particular issue with the government stepping in. I prefer private charities but the fact is minors are not capable of providing for their own health insurance; and that should not be a death penalty offense. We can all share the risk on that without my objection.
I do not however want to pay for adults who chose to take their chances.
Obama-care fraud is almost dead and the Supremes will drive a stake through it’s rotten heart.
Will there be expedited delivery to the Supreme Court? Will it be docketed soon and bypass the court of appeals?
You can go, sure. They won’t arrest you. Nevertheless, if you don’t have something ER-serious, they won’t be of much help.
You’ll get a polite suggestion about seeing a specialist.
Continued good health and prosperity to you, Persevero.
