Federal Judge Rules Against Mandatory Insurance Coverage Clause of New Health Care Law

Judge Henry E. Hudson ruled Monday for the state's claim that the requirement for people to purchase health care exceeds the power of Congress under the Constitution's Commerce Clause.

Hudson's decision is the first striking down part of the controversial legislation.
