Federal Judge in Florida Rules Health Care Reform Law Violates U.S. Constitution |
|
On Jan. 31, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida ruled that the health care reform law is unconstitutional, siding with the attorneys general of 26 states that sued to block the reform law. U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson accepted without trial the states' argument that the new law, specifically the so-called "individual mandate", violates individuals' rights by forcing them to purchase health insurance by 2014 or face penalties.
