U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor agreed with 19 States to declare the Affordable Care Act, (aka Obamacare) Unconstitutional because Congress revoked the tax penalty last year.

“My family has health insurance through my union that was unaffected by the ACA so I am ignorant, as I am realizing more and more, about much of what you are speaking of.”
Here is website that provides a general idea of what the costs are for ObamaCare. It is fairly accurate.

The next website will show actual plans. This link likely will disappear after today. Today is the last day for people to sign up on the exchanges.

We just ne one of rhe black robed pukes to kick the bucket.
Are you sure? Can you point me to a legit url that says so?
I thought Congress only reduced Robert's tax to 0%, which I and many believe the law would still be intact.
CJ Roberts catches a lot of criticism from the Freep crowd, but I can’t buy the theories that he’s a closet fluffer or that he’s being blackmailed.
His basic theory seems to be a few things: One, if it’s a state issue, he’s going to throw it back to the states. Two, if it’s a congress issue, he’s going to throw it back to Congress (hence his ruling that OCare is a tax that Congress will have to address). Three, if there’s precedent, he’s going to see if precedent takes precedence in a case. Four, if a case comes to the doorstep of SCOTUS for perusal, he determines whether it’s got legs or not.
Has he actively legislated new law or swung to the left? Not really. And his rulings tend to be narrow, not sweeping, allowing for future hearings on cases in order to create clarity.

Thank you Doodle!
The federal government has long had their fingers in a thousand and one things that are not within their purview, but that fact doesn't justify their continuing to do so.
As a conservative, you should be just as hard on Republicans as you are on Democrats when they attempt to expand big government.
then, CJ Roberts is collecting a very large salary under false pretext. If it’s a state issue and it violates the Constitution, it’s his job to intervene; if it’s a Congressional issue, and it violates the Constitution, it’s his duty to intervene; because that’s what the hell he’s there for.
Judge rules Obamacare unconstitutional, and he’s right https://t.co/cgzxUhO60Y— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) December 15, 2018

The feds have engaged in unconstitutional acts like meddling in healthcare LONG before Medicare began.
Declared unconstitutional because it is.
The way it works is the Roberts court sniffs a case. If they deem a lower court decision to be unconstitutional, they write a note to the lower court telling them to correct it and send it back. If they deem it constitutional, they write a ruling saying the decision stands.
“Actually, for something to exist, its value cannot equal zero.
It is a placeholder, a symbol to be filled in but with a zero value currently. It exists, just like any mathematical variable ‘x’ with an as yet unassigned value, or a value of zero. In this case, rather than a variable in an equation it is a legal definition and it exists.
Just because I haven’t completed my taxes yet and the last box says “0” doesn’t mean my debt to the IRS ‘doesn’t exist’. And going on what the other guy said, if I finish my taxes and I owe zero my debt to the IRS still exists, but with a value of zero.
This was the lieral fascist Obama attempt to socialize 30% of the US economy.
It failed. Thanks be to G_d.
We still are a Free Republic, but the fight is not over. We have the deep state DOJ and FBI to destroy.
If he DOES create yet another way to save it, he will remove all doubt that he is compromised.>>>>>>>>>
Impeach Roberts. He is a sexual predator and pedophile who has a huge carbon foot print! A monster! ( sarc.)
Both Roberts and Kavanaugh refused to hear a case against Planned Parenthood. Since only 3 justices voted to hear the case it will not be heard as 4 votes are needed.
If it turns out that a lot of people really want this health care, then reinstating a penalty of $1 for those who don’t sign up could solve the tax or non-tax issue.
If they put it back to $1, the legal issue is moot.
The best way to challenge the ACA is to have states adopt regulations that allow insurers to sell plans that do not comply with the ACA provisions that drive premiums through the roof -- e.g., the elimination of annual or lifetime caps, the requirement for insurers to cover a whole litany of medical treatments that a lot of people don't want anyway, etc. Those provisions of the ACA are blatant violations of the 10th Amendment and the 1945 Federal law that gives states the authority to regulate the insurance industry.
