A federal appeals court on Wednesday ruled that the “individual mandate” component of former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act is invalid. However, other parts of the law still require further review.

It was not decided how much of the act must also fall along with the individual mandate, which stipulates that American’s must obtain health insurance.
