Federal judge rules against provision requiring health insurance purchase

A federal judge in Richmond, Va., ruled Monday December 13th. that Congress had no authority under the Constitution to require that every American obtain health insurance by the year 2014, This is a crucial part of the health care legislation promoted by President Obama.  U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson, in his ruling declared that “an individual’s personal decision to purchase, or decline to purchase, health insurance from a private provider is beyond the historical reach of the Commerce Clause.” This was the first federal court ruling against that requirement, after four other judges had turned aside similar challenges — sometimes for procedural reasons.
