The Federal Judge ruled that it is unconstitutional for the government to mandate citizens to buy healthcare. Essentially, the key component to ObamaCare has been struck a death blow.

Since the primary intention of Obamacare was to provide another pretty kitty to steal from, the intent is/was to have it come about that the only place you could get health insurance was via the government via its’ vendors...The same as the Flood Insurance Fiasco...

This is only one state so I’m not sure how to apply it at this time.

Since there are other decisions that are in conflict with this decision, it will eventually be decided by SCOTUS.

Good news but we need to take a deep breath.

The remaining parts of the law other than the individual mandate was ruled as severable, meaning all but the mandate stands. Also no injunction was issued against implementation or enforcement, thus I see this ruling as simply using the “rocket docket” to expedite the case to the USSC.
