Van Hollen, Health Care Law Dead In Wisconsin

From the Washington Post.
State officials divided on meaning of judge's health-care ruling

A day after a federal judge struck down the government's plan to overhaul the health-care system, Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen issued a stern statement: 'This means that, for Wisconsin, the federal health care law is dead,' and that his state 'was relieved of any obligations or duties' to carry out the statute."

I have and if need be will be hard on JB but today I have to give him credit for standing up for the people of Wisconsin!

Thank You Mr Van Hollen, Now don't back down or get RINO on us.

Not so fast in declaring Affordable Healthcare is dead. The decision of a federal judge in florida is not the Supreme Court of the United States. Only they will determine if the Constitution has been violated by this Law. But if the Supreme Court does uphold your position Mr.Hollen you have the slippery slope to eliminate Social Security and Medicare.

John, thanks for your thoughts.

The bill is technically dead unless Obama gets a stay from another court.

You are right, it will end up at the supreme court.

Have a GREAT day.
