Another Federal Judge rules health care reforms are Constitutional - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com

District of Columbia Federal Judge Gladys Kessler has ruled that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care act, aka Obamacare, is constitutionally legal.

Her ruling is now the third to rule that the health care reforms signed into law on March 23, 2010 meet constitutional requirements. The other two judges, one in Virginia and one in Michigan have also ruled the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act constitutional.

Two judges, one in Florida and another in Virginia, have ruled the law unconstitutional, saying the individual mandate requiring all Americans, starting in 2014, to buy health insurance or face a fine exceeds Congress’ constitutional authority.
