Judge considers Obamacare as unconstitutional

A Federal judge in the US state of Texas has determined that in the reign of President Barack Obama and adopted by his successor, Donald Trump's hated health care reform as unconstitutional. The last word is likely to have the Supreme court.

Responsible judge Reed O'connor has made his decision, an Amendment to the tax law in the year 2017. Trump the court's celebrated decision against "Obamacare," "Wow, but not surprisingly, ObamaCare has just been classified by a highly respected judge in Texas as UNCONSTITUTIONAL," wrote Trump on Twitter. "Great news for America!"

The judgment is, however, likely to be challenged before the Supreme Court of the United States. Attorneys General and governors of the Democrats, said of the decision to the fight. The Republicans had already failed several times last year, the health care should be abolished. "Obamacare" had been passed in 2010 and regulates the access to health insurance.

kick-off of penalty payments

With its decision supported judge O'connor, the plaintiffs, a coalition of some 20 Republican attorney generals and governors. Unconstitutional since the Amendment to the tax law that U.S. citizens would no longer buy health care, would be financially punished, and this was provided in "Obamacare". This penalty payment was confirmed in 2012 by the Supreme Court. The so-called "individual mandate" should serve as a control. The Republican-controlled Congress had eliminated the monetary penalty, however. Now it was said in the lawsuit, there is no legal Basis for the decision of the Supreme Court from six years ago.

The democratic California attorney General Xavier Becerra said, the judgment will not be deterred: "Our Alliance will continue to fight in court for the health and welfare of all Americans." His colleague from Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, said his state was not bound to the misguided judgment of the judge. He will not enforce the decision.

the Chairman of The Democrats in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, said, the judgment seems to be based on faulty legal reasoning, and will hopefully be repealed. Americans, worried working families, would have to do everything to prevent this judgment of the district court will act. (hvw/sda)
