Declaring it “unconstitutional”, U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson struck down President Obama’s health care plan; specifically due to the individual mandate for Americans to purchase health insurance.

“Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire act must be declared void. This has been a difficult decision to reach, and I am aware that it will have indeterminable implications,” Vinson wrote.

Opinions on Vinson’s ruling are, of course, sharply divided along party lines. It will be interesting to see how long it will take for the matter to reach the Supreme Court.
