It's about time. The government has been dragging their feet on this issue hoping the full health care plan would go into effect before they had to do anything.
U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson ruled Thursday that implementation of the health law can proceed — but he gave the Obama administration just seven days to file an appeal.
Vinson issued a stay of his own Jan. 31 ruling that declared the entire health care reform law unconstitutional. He chastised the government for not interpreting that ruling as an immediate injunction to stop implementing the new law.
But in a twist, he said he interpreted the Justice Department’s request for clarity as a motion to stay, which he granted.
