US federal appeals court rules the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, is unconstitutional. But sent the case back t trial judge for another look at whether the entire law is invalid or if some parts can survive.

"The provision's saving construction is no longer available," the appeals court said.

The ruling Wednesday ordered the trial judge to reconsider his ruling that the entire law must fall because the individual mandate was the glue that held it together. The appeals court said the Trump administration clouded the issue by changing its position. When the case was in front of the trial judge, the Justice Department said parts of the law could be saved. But on appeal, the government agreed with the GOP officials in the states pursuing the legal case that the entire law must be declared invalid.

Government can offer insurance if they want and people can buy it if they want. You can’t however force someone to buy something they don’t want. Just like govt should not tell people they can’t buy something they do want.

Democrats told Americans ,ObamaCare would help every American, but it was all a lie, forced Americans that had insurance, out of insurance. Whistleblower who help sell ObamaCare said Democrats leaders knew it wouldn't work, Obama & Pelosi lied.

Really, I could have told them it was unconstitutional before they even passed it...But ohhhh the had to listen to Pelosi...so many of the American public are nothing more than frogs in water and don't even get the fire is being turned up.WAKE UP AMERICA, Both parties are rotten!

Trump ran his whole campaign on having a bigger and better plan. Nothing

Constitution Schmonstitution

gop what’s your heath care plan? You don’t have one and never will. You don’t care about the American people. Nor do you care about the Constitution, so at least you’re consistent

GOP continues its fight against ObamaCare with no replacement plan of any kind. How pro-life!
