One step forward, one step back...

First, the good news:
"Florida Rep. Dean Cannon, the state's new House speaker, took a shot at healthcare reform ... questioning whether government should require citizens to purchase health insurance or raise taxes to give insurance to those who can't afford it"
Now the bad:
"A federal judge in Virginia on Tuesday rejected a legal challenge to the healthcare reform law"
U.S. District Judge Norman Moon based his (wrongheaded) decision on the stretched-beyond-anything-meaningful Commerce Clause, ruling that "there is a rational basis for Congress to conclude that individuals' decisions about how and when to pay for health care are activities that in the aggregate substantially affect the interstate health care market." [emphasis added]

Once again, we see misinformed individuals (notably, in this case, a Federal jurist) conflate health care with health insurance.

Sheesh.
