Affordable healthcare legislation that has already been passed through U.S. Congress is unconstitutional, a U.S. district judge has ruled.

Judge Reed O'Connor from Fort Worth, Texas agreed on Dec. 14 with a coalition of 20 states that a 2017 change in tax law to eliminate the penalty for not having health insurance invalidates the entire the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare.
