Obamacare was struck down by a Texas federal judge in a ruling that casts uncertainty on insurance coverage for millions of U.S. residents.
The judicial ruling is drawing sharp condemnation from medical professional organizations and a vow for immediate legal action by top Democrats.
The lawsuit was brought by 20 Republican-led states. The decision will be immediately appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, according to California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, which was one of 16 Democratic-led states who filed a brief defending the ACA.
