George Allen comments on Florida federal judge ruling on health care

George Allen Statement on FL Health Care Ruling
- Federal Judge Rules Individual Mandate Unconstitutional –

Mt. Vernon, VA – U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson has ruled the “individual mandate” portion of the federal health care law unconstitutional, becoming the second federal judge to do so. U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson of Virginia ruled in a similar fashion in December. Senate candidate George Allen today issued the following statement:

“Today’s ruling by Judge Roger Vinson in Florida is another victory for the voices of Virginians and Americans who oppose this unfair, anti-job, unconstitutional federal government dictate. The constitutionally sound judgments made by Judge Vinson and Judge Hudson echo what Americans have believed all along – that this health care bill and its odious mandates exceed the constitutional bounds of the federal government.

“Recently Senator Webb said he would ‘prefer’ to let the bill play out in the courts and then ‘adapt.’ It is past time for Senator Webb and his liberal colleagues to “adapt” and work to repeal this monstrosity. Rather than dictates and dependency, we need to replace this massive, expensive experiment with reforms that foster more affordable and accessible health care opportunities for families and small business owners.”
