Federal Judge Rules Obamacare Unconstitutional!

Trump and his minions are trying to destroy the Affordable Care Act.

Today is the final days of enrollment and of course, people weren't notified as much. Obviously, Republicans have sabotage the efforts to get people insured.

The Affordable Care Act once again comes into the courtroom. A far right U.S. federal judge from Texas called the ACA (aka Obamacare) unconstitutional.

The ruling could strip millions of Americans from finding quality healthcare.

Reed O'Conner, is a U.S. Federal District Judge who was picked by George W. Bush in 2007 decided to undermine millions of Americans who depend on affordable health care.

Judge Reed O'Connor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued the opinion in a lawsuit brought in February by Republican officials in 20 states led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Those officials contended that the entire law should be stricken because Congress earlier this year repealed the fines known as "shared responsibility payments" that people without health coverage had to pay under the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate. O'Connor agreed.

He ruled the ACA unconstitutional because the individual mandate was "no longer fairly read as an exercise of Congress's Tax Power and is still impermissible under the Intersate Commerce Clause --- meaning the Individual Mandate is unconstitutional.

Donald J. Trump hailed the decision as a victory.

As I predicted all along, Obamacare has been struck down as an UNCONSTITUTIONAL disaster! Now Congress must pass a STRONG law that provides GREAT healthcare and protects pre-existing conditions. Mitch and Nancy, get it done!

If the ruling stands, the Affordable Care Act's insurance regulations would disappear and, along with them, the health coverage for millions of people who gained private insurance or Medicaid coverage under the 2010 law signed by President Barack Obama. Specifically, the law's guarantee of coverage for people regardless of their pre-existing conditions, financial assistance for private insurance, rules establishing a basic minimum set of benefits insurance policies must cover and more would vanish. Since O'Connor's ruling throws out the entire statute, the rest of the ACA, such as its expansion of Medicaid to low-income adults, also is stricken.

Bush appointed judge is a racist.

In short, this ruling would deal severe damage to the American health care system. It also would eradicate one of Obama's most significant accomplishments. According to an analysis by the Urban Institute, eliminating the Affordable Care Act would increase the national uninsured rate by 50 percent and lead to more than 17 million people losing health coverage.

Are you motivated to vote in 2019 and 2020?

Cause I am.

I've had enough of the bullshit from Republicans and conservatives. I had enough of Donald J. Trump. Let's keep the pressure on advertisers of conservative agitators. Let's keep the pressure on lawmakers by showing up to town halls. Don't let the lawmakers sleep. Keep them awake knowing that we're going to oust them from power if they mess with progress.

O'Connor can suck one......

This is why the Senate is important. Trump can pick unqualified judges to hold the bench for years.

White male privilege would stand for a generation.

Enough is enough.
