RICHMOND (January 31, 2011) – Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli made the following statement today regarding the victory in Florida in the multi-state lawsuit against the federal health care law:
“I am heartened by the fact that another federal judge has found that the individual mandate forcing citizens to buy private health insurance is unconstitutional. The judge also found that the individual mandate could not be severed from the remainder of the law, so he declared the entire act invalid.
“Constitutional principles have scored another victory today. Liberty has scored another victory today.
“I congratulate Florida Attorney General Bondi, former Attorney General McCollum, and the attorneys general and governors who joined the Florida suit, on their victory.”
