Judge Rules Health Care Law Unconstitutional

Washington, DC – U.S. Representative Charles W. Boustany, Jr., (R-Southwest Louisiana), released the following statement in support of U.S. District Court Judge Henry Hudson’s ruling against mandatory health care coverage in President Obama’s health care law:

“This ruling clearly demonstrates one of the most significant problems with the legislation, which I will continue to aggressively fight in the upcoming Congress,” Boustany said. “It is wrong for the federal government to mandate that Americans purchase more expensive Washington-approved coverage.  This court decision is a step in the right direction towards repealing Obamacare and replacing it with commonsense, affordable solutions
