Wisconsin Leads States in Declaring ObamaCare Dead

ObamaCare Implementation Chart

Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen has taken a great step forward in stopping the implementation of ObamaCare. And quite correctly, Van Hollen said, “Judge Vinson declared the health care law void and stated in his decision that a declaratory judgment is the functional equivalent of an injunction. This means that, for Wisconsin, the federal health care law is dead-unless and until it is revived by an appellate court. Effectively, Wisconsin was relieved of any obligations or duties that were created under terms of the federal health care law.”

Wisconsin has drawn a line in the sand. ObamaCare is not a law, because it was overturned by Judge Vinson. Because ObamaCare is not a law, no state is to follow it. To begin implementing ObamaCare would be in violation of the law of the land.

From Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen on Monday:

Judge Vinson has confirmed the conclusion I reached when this law was enacted.  Congress is free to reform health care, but it must do so in a Constitutional manner. It simply does not have the authority to require people to either purchase health insurance or pay a fine.

Now, we wait to see if the federal government has finally gotten the message.  If they don’t get the message, and decide to appeal the case, as they did when they lost in Virginia, my colleagues and I will continue our fight to defend the Constitution and protect the people of Wisconsin from this unconstitutional law.

Florida has also declared that they will not implement the law. According to Florida Governor Rick Scott, “”We are not going to spend a lot of time and money with regard to trying to get ready to implement that (law) until we know exactly what is going to happen.”

Other states must follow the lead of Attorney General Van Hollen. ObamaCare is not law, and thus, must not be implemented.

    The thing I have noticed in this discussioon is the constant comparison between the federal government forcing us to purchase health insurance and the states forcing us to purchase auto insurance. I notice it because it indicates a serious lack of education on the part of the general populace.

    The reason that states can force you to purchase car insurance is the same reason Massachusetts can force it’s citizens to purchase health insurance-because that is one of the many powers left to the states.

    The Constitution limits what the FEDERAL government may do and leaves everything else to the states. It’s really a rather interesting system for a number of reasons.
    First among those reasons is that such a system is self correcting.

    If a state passes and implements a law with which the majority of it’s people disagree, the people may lobby their legislators(and even recall them) to get it changed. If that doesn’t work, they may vote with their feet by moving to a state that respects their wishes to not live under that law. Eventually that state will either fail or repeal a law that affects it negatively.

    Congress as well as Mr. Obama exceeded their authority in making this law and so it should be overturned. If the judiciary fails to respect the Constitutional limits placed upon the federal government, then the states have the right to nullify that law or call an article five convention to deal with it through the process of amendment.

    The bottom line is that either we are a nation of laws or we are not. We have, through our own ignorance and apathy allowed the federal government to far exceed it’s authority in multiple venues. It is time to remind them that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land as approved by We the People. We the People do expect them to limit themselves to those powers which have been granted to them by us through our Constitution.

    @ Logic. What you don’t understand is the difference between auto insurance & health care insurance, is the little fact that NO ONE requires someone to own a car! If one does decide to own a car, and they want to drive it on PUBLIC roads, then they need to have insurance…. But keep in mind, no one is mandating that a person HAS to own a car! ya nitwit!!!

    I agree that it’s fair to force everybody who drives a car to own auto insurance. However, people who never drive a car should not be forced to buy auto insurance. Health insurance is different. People who practice prevention extremely well should not be forced to buy health insurance. They should not be fined nearly $700 per year in 2016.

    HEALTH INSURANCE IS DIFFERENT FROM AUTO INSURANCE:
    If an unexpected accident happens in traffic, the uninsured driver might not be able to pay for the harm he has caused to another person out of his own pocket. However, if an unexpected accident occurs to your health, the medically uninsured person can pay either with his own life or out of his own savings. He does not begin to owe money to another person for harming that other person.
