Physicians, Patients Vow to Overturn Ruling Striking Down ACA

[still_one]

"Almost as soon as a Texas judge ruled yesterday that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is unconstitutional, proponents of the law — including physicians' organizations, which had filed briefs in support — vowed to appeal the decision.
"Today's decision is an unfortunate step backward for our health system that is contrary to overwhelming public sentiment to preserve pre-existing condition protections and other policies that have extended health insurance coverage to millions of Americans," said Barbara L. McAneny, MD, president of the American Medical Association (AMA), in a statement sent to Medscape Medical News.
The AMA led a coalition — including the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry — in filing an amicus brief in support of the law.
McAneny said the AMA will work with patient advocates and others to pursue an appeal."

2. Good.

"The scope of this order is just so breath-taking," said Timothy S. Jost, professor emeritus at the Washington and Lee University School of Law in Lexington, Virginia, noting that striking the law would have huge repercussions. "I think it's extremely likely this decision will be reversed," Jost told Medscape Medical News.
