GOP-led states slam ObamaCare ruling, say Supreme Court ducked on constitutionality - Fox News

Texas and other Republican-led states ripped the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act, arguing Thursday’s ruling ignored the core issue of whether "ObamaCare" was constitutional.

The states’ case hinged on ObamaCare’s individual mandate, which required most Americans to have health insurance or face penalties.

Its crown jewel – the individual mandate – was unconstitutional when it was enacted and it is still unconstitutional," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement.

"If the government is allowed to mislead its citizens, pass a massive government takeover of health care, and yet still survive after Supreme Court review, this spells doom for the principles of federalism and limited government.".

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said his state was "deeply disappointed that the court ducked the question about the unconstitutionality of the individual mandate.".

"At no point in today’s decision do the Supreme Court justices address the merits of our argument that ObamaCare is unconstitutional," said Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge

Supreme Court decision is a major victory for all Americans benefiting from this groundbreaking and life-changing law."
