US district court rules Obamacare no longer valid

Washington, Dec 15 (UNI) A federal judge in Texas struck down the entire 'Affordable Care Act' on the grounds that its mandate requiring people to buy health insurance is unconstitutional and the rest of the law cannot stand without it, raising concerns that 20 millions of US citizens might be stripped of insurance coverage as a result.
