We have seen the future, and it sucks.

If ObamaCare’s Individual Mandate Goes, Then What?

30th November 2010

Peter Suderman ponders the implications.

As I noted yesterday, the authors of the recent health care overhaul legislation failed to include a severability clause in the text of the law. A severability clause is inserted into legislation in order to protect the bulk of the law should one provision be deemed unconstitutional. But as because the PPACA has no severability clause, a court—at least in theory—could take down the entire law if it decided that the mandate was unconstitutional.

Oops.
