Obama suffered a major blow when, a federal judge in Virginia ruled Monday that a key provision of H.R 3590, the new national health care reform law is unconstitutional.
U.S. District Court Judge Henry Hudson said that forcing individuals to purchase health insurance was in violation of the Constitution's "commerce clause," The Washington Post reported.
The courts cannot enforce the law's requirement that Americans be fined if they don't have health insurance by 2014, the judge said in a 42-page opinion.
