US Federal Judge Rules Obamacare Unconstitutional

by Reuters

   A U.S. federal judge in Texas ruled Friday that the Affordable Care
   Act, commonly known as Obamacare, is unconstitutional.

   U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth agreed with a coalition
   of 20 states that a change in tax law last year eliminating a penalty
   for not having health insurance invalidates the entire Obamacare law.

   O'Connor's decision is likely to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
