Gohmert Applauds Health Care Ruling

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) is applauding the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that part of the federal health care plan is unconstitutional. Gohmert released the following statement Friday:

“Today’s ruling is a triumph for the Constitution and a great victory for the American people. Not only is it unconstitutional to force Americans to purchase health care insurance against their will, this bill misrepresents the rule of law in the United States. It not only destroys jobs; but, it robs the taxpayers of 2.6 trillion of their hard-earned money. This is not the first time that a federal court has ruled that the individual mandate in ObamaCare is unconstitutional. I applaud this court decision and look forward to replacing Obamacare with healthcare that does not just bring change but offers hope.”
