Appeals court deems insurance mandate unconstitutional
« on: August 17, 2011, 05:55:02 AM »
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta voted 2-1 to reject the individual insurance mandate of the Affordable Care Act, saying the provision exceeds Congress' authority to regulate commerce. However, the court said it would not invalidate the rest of the statute. Most legal experts anticipate the U.S. Supreme Court will issue the ultimate decision in the matter, as this most recent ruling clashes with a decision made by a federal appeals court in Cincinnati.
