Senators Doubt Ruling Will Strick Down ACA

[annaj26]

A federal judge’s ruling that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional was met with skepticism on Sunday from a bipartisan group of senators, who expressed doubt that the ruling will be upheld.

The lawmakers were at odds with the White House with that prediction, as White House aide Stephen Miller predicted Sunday that the case will end up in front of the Supreme Court and the ruling will be upheld.

U.S. District Court Judge Reed O'Connor ruled Friday that the health-care law's individual mandate is unconstitutional and said the rest of the law is also unconstitutional because the mandate can’t be separated from the law.

The Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, will remain in effect while the ruling is appealed.

Thanks for bringing this up, Annie. I heard there will be an appeal to knock it back. If that doesn't happen, Congress will keep it from going any further because of the Democratic House of Representatives.
