A Texas federal judge on Friday ruled that Obamacare violated the Constitution, likely pushing the ruling towards the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

This has been a no brainer from day one. And it took the blood sucking attornies to do it. Thank you gentlemen. Ive paid for my insurance for years before I finally retired. It was hard enough before being a single mom, but after Obamacare, I couldnt even afford to use my insurance I was paying through the nose for. And if an emergency came up , the insurance company just denied claims for half the cost and I got to pay it out anyway.
Now it may be in the hands of a democrat dominated house of representatives to develop a replacement for 0’Care.
Good luck America, that they will consider what’s best for their constituents.
