Federal Judge: ObamaCare Unconstitutional

U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson ruled, without trial, that the ObamaCare bill passed last year is unconstitutional.

The health care overhaul has been stricken down in one other court, and upheld in two others.  The matter will likely head now to the U. S. Supreme Court.

The text of Judge Vinson’s 78 page ruling can be found here.

If ObamaCare is so great, why does the White House keep exempting its best friends from it?

Jersey Shore Tea Party Files Suit Against ObamaCare

HEALTH CARE LAWSUIT FILED PRO SE

 The Jersey Shore Tea Party in conjunction with Ocean County Citizens For Freedom (a Tea Party Group), the Colts Neck Tea Party and several individuals have filed a 15 count lawsuit IN NJ Federal Court against ObamaCare. (suit attached)

The suit names Kathleen Sebelius US Dept of Health and Human Services, Timothy Geithner, US Dept. of the Treasury and Hilda Solis, US Dept of Labor as Plaintiffs and was filed by plaintiffs Nicholas E. Purpura and Donald R Laster Jr pro se. They are Jersey Shore Tea Party members.

The lawsuit includes several counts already approved in Federal Court and adds numerous other charges.  This consortium of individuals and groups marks a milestone in the New Jersey Tea Party Movement.  New Jersey is a hot bed of Tea Party activity and this lawsuit is in line with those efforts to secure the Republic from leftist radical elements that have seized the executive and legislative branches of our government.  The overt debasement and circumventing of our Constitution cannot be permitted to proceed unchallenged.

Obama Pallone Care Even Worse Than Critics Thought

From the Washington Examiner:

» Obamacare won’t decrease health care costs for the government. According to Medicare’s actuary, it will increase costs. The same is likely to happen for privately funded health care.

» As written, Obamacare covers elective abortions, contrary to Obama’s promise that it wouldn’t. This means that tax dollars will be used to pay for a procedure millions of Americans across the political spectrum view as immoral. Supposedly, the Department of Health and Human Services will bar abortion coverage with new regulations but these will likely be tied up for years in litigation, and in the end may not survive the court challenge.

» Obamacare won’t allow employees or most small businesses to keep the coverage they have and like. By Obama’s estimates, as many as 69 percent of employees, 80 percent of small businesses, and 64 percent of large businesses will be forced to change coverage, probably to more expensive plans.

» Obamacare will increase insurance premiums — in some places, it already has. Insurers, suddenly forced to cover clients’ children until age 26, have little choice but to raise premiums, and they attribute to Obamacare’s mandates a 1 to 9 percent increase. Obama’s only method of preventing massive rate increases so far has been to threaten insurers.

» Obamacare will force seasonal employers — especially the ski and amusement park industries — to pay huge fines, cut hours, or lay off employees.

» Obamacare forces states to guarantee not only payment but also treatment for indigent Medicaid patients. With many doctors now refusing to take Medicaid (because they lose money doing so), cash-strapped states could be sued and ordered to increase reimbursement rates beyond their means.

» Obamacare imposes a huge nonmedical tax compliance burden on small business. It will require them to mail IRS 1099 tax forms to every vendor from whom they make purchases of more than $600 in a year, with duplicate forms going to the Internal Revenue Service. Like so much else in the 2,500-page bill, our senators and representatives were apparently unaware of this when they passed the measure.

» Obamacare allows the IRS to confiscate part or all of your tax refund if you do not purchase a qualified insurance plan. The bill funds 16,000 new IRS agents to make sure Americans stay in line.
