Last week federal judge Roger Vinson ruled PPACA unconstitutional in a response to a lawsuit by 26 states and the National Federation of Independent Businesses. The ruling specifically declared the individual mandate provisions in the new law unconstitutional, but Judge Vinson deemed the entire health care reform law unconstitutional, stating that it was too complicated to sever any part of it.
At the same time the houses of Congress are mopving to repeal the
1099 provision to report any expenses to one entity of more than $600.00. In additionthere are movements to modify benefits or repeal exchanges, LTC portions of the bill, the individual mandate, and whether or not to take away the business tax credit if the employers’ insurance plan covers abortion.
Most if not all of these items will end up as part of a decision of the
Supreme Court. In fact, 28 governors have already asked President Obama to ask the Court to expedite it’s decision on the Affordable Health Care Act. Meanwhile, as each date passes for implementation of another portion of the Act, we do.
If you want some help in sorting this out, let me know. That’s what I do.
