US federal appeals court rules the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, is unconstitutional. But sent the case back t trial judge for another look at whether the entire law is invalid or if some parts can survive.
"The provision's saving construction is no longer available," the appeals court said.
The ruling Wednesday ordered the trial judge to reconsider his ruling that the entire law must fall because the individual mandate was the glue that held it together. The appeals court said the Trump administration clouded the issue by changing its position. When the case was in front of the trial judge, the Justice Department said parts of the law could be saved. But on appeal, the government agreed with the GOP officials in the states pursuing the legal case that the entire law must be declared invalid.
