Judge Reed O'Connor Rules Obamacare Unconstitutional

Posted by: thepinetree on 12/14/2018 06:54 PM

Fort Worth, TX...U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor has ruled that the ACA or Obamacare is unconstitutional. From the Decision..."The Court’s analysis involves three separate inquiries and conclusions. First, the Court finds the Parties satisfy the applicable standing requirements. Second, the Court finds the Individual Mandate can no longer be fairly read as an exercise of Congress’s Tax Power and is still impermissible under the Interstate Commerce Clause—meaning the Individual Mandate is unconstitutional. Third, the Court finds the Individual Mandate is essential to and inseverable from the remainder of the ACA." The link to the full decision is below...

CDC Director on Continuing Drop in U.S. Life Expectancy

Posted by: thepinetree on 11/29/2018 11:13 AM

Atlanta, GA...“The latest CDC data show that the U.S. life expectancy has declined over the past few years. Tragically, this troubling trend is largely driven by deaths from drug overdose and suicide. Life expectancy gives us a snapshot of the Nation’s overall health and these sobering statistics are a wakeup call that we are losing too many Americans, too early and too often, to conditions that are preventable. CDC is committed to putting science into action to protect U.S. health, but we must all work together to reverse this trend and help ensure that all Americans live longer and healthier lives.” — Robert R. Redfield, M.D., CDC Director
