Appeals court strikes health insurance requirement - Yahoo! News

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal appeals court has struck down the requirement in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul package that virtually all Americans must carry health insurance or face penalties.

A divided three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday struck down the so-called individual mandate, siding with 26 states that had sued to block the law.

But the decision didn't go as far as a lower court that had invalidated the entire overhaul as unconstitutional.

The states and other critics say the law violates people's rights. The Justice Department counters that the legislative branch was exercising a "quintessential" power.

An appeals court and three federal judges have upheld the law, and two have invalidated it. Experts say the debate ultimately will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

I'll go ahead and say it... TOLD YOU SO. Sorry, Obama sheep. It's unconstitutional. Back to the drawing board and this time, let's try to do something within the framework of the Constitution that we can afford.

 

[AmericanFirst]

Right decision. The Gov't. cannot force you to buy something. If it is unconstitutional for the individual mandate the whole law should be repealed, it is plainly a socialist law anyway and has NO place in this country.

Doesn't change anything

Some courts have approved it others have denied

Have to wait for that 5-4 Supreme Court decision

You cannot force Citizens to buy Health Care Insurance. Forcing Citizens to buy Health Insurance by threatening Fines & Imprisonment is as Un-American as it can get. I just hope the Courts agree with me in the end. This is a good start.

What makes you think the SC has to hear it? They can simply decide the appellate court is correct.

Right decision but the fight is not over.

Incorrect...

Once something is ruled unconstitutional it is deemed unconstitutional... It doesn't "Stay Constitutional" because one of three or for rulings say it's ok with them...

The other ruling you libs are married to said that it wasn't unconstitutional with regards to that case and those litigants... Those parties to the lawsuit can go about their merry ways with regards to 0bamacare if they want until appeal to a higher court smacks them down...

This case and the other one before it have ruled that the individual mandate clause is unconstitutional... Legally, the parties that brought forth this lawsuit (26 states) can ignore the individual mandate without any reprocussions...

Right now, more than half the states in the country do not have to force their residents to buy health insurance if they don't want to buy it....

11th Circuit Strikes Down Individual Mandate

Ilya Somin • August 12, 2011 2:14 pm

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has just issued a 2–1 ruling striking down the individual mandate in a suit brought by 26 state governments, the National Federation of Independent Business, and others. This is the first court of appeals decision striking down the mandate, and creates a circuit split with the recent Sixth Circuit decision going the other way. The opinion is available here. It’s easily the most important victory for the anti-mandate side so far.

Significantly, Judge Frank Hull, a Clinton appointee has now become the first Democratic-appointed judge to vote to strike down the mandate, balancing Republican Sixth Circuit Judge Jeffrey Sutton who voted to uphold it. The decision further undermines claims that the individual mandate suit is a sure loser that goes against a supposed expert consensus that the mandate is clearly constitutional.

It is now extremely likely that the Supreme Court will end up hearing the case, as the Court cannot allow a situation where the mandate is valid in some parts of the country but not in others. I recently opined on the case’s prospects in the Supreme Court here.

I will try to post additional commentary on the decision as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this is a very busy day, and it may take awhile to fully study the 300 pages of the majority and dissenting opinions.

Repeal the 13th first if you want to start mandating anything to me.

Live free or die.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Is this really what we want from our Government? Forcing Citizens to purchase something by way of threats & force? The Mandate has to be ended. It's just not right.

 

[Foxfyre]

Well hallelujah!!! Just about when I'm convinced our entire court system has gone over the dark side, they exercise some common sense and actually hold up the original intent of the Constitution.

Now, the question is, will our law professor POTUS accept this ruling? Or will he deem it within his right to ignore it as he has all the other rulings?

It was decided by Congress and the people for a free United States of America lost.

Thank God there are checks and balances to prevent Congress from running a muck.
