FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Van Irion, Constitutional Attorney and candidate for the 3rd Congressional District of Tennessee will file a constitutional challenge to the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” today at 2pm at the United States District Court in Chattanooga. He will hold a press conference on the steps of the court building.
Irion said he considered taking this action after his trip to Nashville last month to support the Health Care Freedom Act and other bills proposed to protect Tennessean’s against Obamacare. “It became evident to me that the Attorney General was unlikely to take action. Tuesday’s announcement simply confirmed what I suspected.”
Irion says that the AG’s analysis misses the point. “Mr. Cooper bases his conclusion about the constitutionality of the Tennessee state bills on the assumption that the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” is per se constitutional. That is the very issue at stake here. Is the PPACA constitutional or not? If not, then states have every right to defend themselves from its enforcement.”
Irion‘s suit will be challenging the constitutionality of the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” on behalf of one lead citizen of Tennessee. He says that individuals and companies wishing to join the suit as plaintiffs to create a class action against Obamacare can contact him personally at [email protected].
