Obama’s health care bill is not overturned in a court ruling.

Obama wins this round and now has the Tea Party and Republican party with whom to do battle at the primaries.

A sluggish economy and poor jobs market may just be the momentum behind the president to make this law stick.

But does it help anyone to be required to buy into a broken health care system?

Standardizing costs and preventive health care should be the priority. Supporting big pharmaceutical companies with tax payer dollars will not help in the long run.

“Virginia, the sole plaintiff here, lacks standing to bring this action,” said the ruling from the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. “Accordingly, we vacate the judgment of the district court and remand with instructions to dismiss the case for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.”

The Richmond-based court becomes the second such federal court to uphold the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, particularly the “individual mandate” provision requiring most Americans to purchase health insurance by 2014 or face a financial penalty. Another appeals court had ruled against the administration.
