President Obama’s healthcare law appears to have stirred up a lot of controversy throughout the country. Up till now, the appeals court has overruled two decisions that had challenged President Obama’s healthcare law. The legal issue has taken place over the directive to secure health insurance. However, by law until 2014 no judge can interfere till the tax penalty takes effect.
Virginia Atty. Gen Kenneth Cuccinelli who deemed the healthcare law as unconstitutional as it would bind people to purchase health insurance, had his challenge rejected by the appeals court on the basis of not having the proper standing to sue in the first place.
This ruling has a direct impact on states that are covered in the 4th circuit. They include Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Obama’s signature on the healthcare law marks the most important achievement of his two years in office. The argument to enact the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is to assist all those Americans that are either not insured or are underinsured by helping them to acquire adequate health care facilities at subsidized rates. This has been done is in a background where 45 million Americans, which makes up about 15% of the total population, lacks health care facilities due to no health insurance.
However, there has been resistance from other courts regarding the clause of individual mandate deeming it as unconstitutional. So far 25 states have opposed the law.
It is expected that the legislation will prove to be a significant issue in the 2012 campaign.
