Judge Roger Vinson wrote this on the Affordable Health Care Act of 2010:
“The act, like a defectively designed watch, needs to be redesigned and reconstructed by the watchmaker,”
Vinson is a conservative district court judge appointed by President Ronald Reagan ruled that the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional, arguing further that, since he believes the mandate is “inextricably linked” to the rest of the measure, the entire law must be unconstitutional.
Vinson's ruling, however, contradicts 14 other court decisions, the opinion of over 100 law professors, not to mention recent polling showing that Americans want the law to be either protected or expanded.
There is also a distinctly political aspect to the ruling. Vinson acknowledged borrowing heavily in his opinion from a brief written by the right-wing group Family Research Council.
Rightrdia has always wondered why buying health insurance is any different than buying auto insurance. Anyone who drives a vehicle must purcahse auto insraunce. Anyone who works should also have health insrunce.
This is common sense.
