RGA Chairman Statement on Court Ruling Striking Down Federal Healthcare Law

Texas Governor Rick Perry, chairman of the Republican Governors Association, issued the following statement today regarding the ruling by Judge Roger Vinson that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional:

“Today’s ruling represents a victory in the ongoing effort to end federal intrusion into the lives of every American through this one-size-fits-all approach to health care reform. I applaud the judge’s decision, which affirms that the federal government’s attempt to force individuals to buy government-approved health insurance is an egregious violation of our Constitutional rights.”
