On Monday, a federal judge ruled the individual mandate in the new health care laws is unconstitutional. It’s a victory for the Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and the Virginia law forbidding the federal government from ordering residents to purchase health insurance. So why did Cuccinelli have a stronger case than other groups and states challenging the mandate? How does he respond to Obama administration officials who say the mandate is necessary to provide health care access to everyone while keeping costs down? What does he say to their claim that everyone will need health care at some point so forcing us to buy insurance now is legitimate? What power will the government have if Virginia does not win this case? And what does Cuccinelli make of the voter backlash against the health plan? We discuss it all with Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
