Judge Roger Vinson of Federal District Court in Pensacola, FL is the latest jurist in the land to declare the 2010 health care reform package unconstitutional.
<i>that if HC is a right given to you by the government, then it can also be taken away by the government</i> Someone actually said that? Someone who needs a dictionary so he or she can look up &quot;right&quot;.
My insurance is becoming more like a discount scheme. The insurance company apparently negotiates a discount from the doctor&#039;s list price, but leaves me to pay most of the negotiated amount.
In some states it is possible to put up a bond to cover your own car insurance. Amend the act so that anyone not wanting socialist insurance, can put up a bond to cover their own health care costs for a year at a time, and agree not to obtain any coverage from an insurance company or medicare or medicaid during that year. The wingnuts rights would be protected, while other people could enroll in the evil Obamacare. The evil socialist system would also be protected from wingnuts attempting to join once they get sick.
At this moment, I sit in my office, scant blocks from Judge Vinson&#039;s courthouse. I believe he is a member of the Pensacola Camelia Club, hence the photo. They&#039;re in bloom now.
Pensacola has spectacular white-sand beaches and the Blue Angels, but it has been a backwater for many decades. Its county is the poorest in Florida with any significant population. There are said to be more churches per capita in this area than anywhere else in America. It&#039;s as monolithically Republican -- at least among the white people -- as anywhere in the country.
What I&#039;m trying to say is that Judge Vinson is well within the mainstream here, and I&#039;m including his intellectual level in that assessment.
Just what we needed - another public figure with a half-assed understanding of the Boston Tea Party.
Meanwhile, for those scoring at home, there have been 16 actions by Federal judges on cases objecting to Health Care Reform. Fourteen have been tossed out, 2 affirm, 1 struck down the individual mandate and now this activist has declared the entire law void.
But, we&#039;re supposed to pay attention to just that 1 in 16 outcomes?

If he dies he might not become a Fox News host, so there&#039;s that in your favor.
I wonder if this judge bought stock in a coffin company lately?

It&#039;s sad to say, but it&#039;s nice for Pensacola to be associated with something other than clinic bombings. Or Joe Scarborough.
This judge has health insurance, of course.
He must be one of those activist judges I&rsquo;ve been hearing about. Funny, he doesn&rsquo;t look like Satan.
