ObamaCare has been here
before — before and after passage — but this past week was not a good one for
the 2,700-page bill officially titled the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (PPACA).

Courts: Federal Judge Roger Vinson
went further than any other judge to date and issued a ruling
against the entire bill, which should mean the feds can’t advance their plans
in a number of areas.

States: In North Carolina, the
House passed a bill to protect health care freedom. It will go before the
Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow at 11am. This bill is just the first salvo
against federal encroachment. Appropriations subcommittees meet tomorrow at
8:30am, and you’ll be able to listen
online
to HHS in Room 643. Florida Gov. Rick Scott, based on Judge Vinson’s
decision, has stopped
implementing ObamaCare
. Scott joined Mitch Daniels and 19 other governors
to seek more
flexibility
in health care and Medicaid.

Congress: Thirty-four Democrats and all 47 Republicans
joined together in the Senate to end the oppressive rule that forced businesses
to file an IRS Form 1099 for any supplier to whom they pay more than $600 in a year.
