Republican Judge Invalidates Health Care for Working Class:

Republicans are busy finding friendly judges around the country whom they can count on to rule against Pres. Obama's health care law. Judge Henry E. Hudson, a federal judge in Richmond, VA, is one such man. (See The New York Times' story.)

Judge Hudson has recently ruled that the government lacks the authority to require its citizens to purchase health insurance. Frankly, I'm sympathetic. The health care system should be nationalized, and not just the insurance/pay portion of it. I would happily advocate a 99 percent tax rate on all income over $1 million with no exemptions as a means of helping to pay for it.
