Individual Mandate Ruled Unconstitutional

By Brian Altenhofel - Posted on 13 December 2010

U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson has ruled that the requirement for individuals to purchase health insurance is unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause, splitting from the ruling in Michigan that the government can regulate even the decisions that you make. The opinion is 42 pages long, and I don't have time to go through it all right now. Specifically, what has been struck down is only Section 1501 of the Act.
