Attorney of the Year Finalist: Robert Henneke
"We have to get away from looking for a global, one-size-fits-all solution. That's just not feasible with a nation of our size, and a nation as diverse as we are," said Robert Henneke.

Austin attorney Robert Henneke hopes a new health care landscape emerges in the ashes of the Affordable Care Act, if an appellate court affirms that the law is unconstitutional.
Henneke is the attorney for two Texans who, along with a coalition of red states led by Texas, won a lawsuit in 2018 that challenged the individual mandate to purchase health insurance. He said the act mostly benefited health insurance companies, which drive up the costs of health are. Instead, Henneke has a vision of people having direct relationships with doctors, paying out-of-pocket for ordinary care, with health insurance in place only to protect against major health catastrophes.
"We have to get away from looking for a global, one-size-fits-all solution. That's just not feasible with a nation of our size, and a nation as diverse as we are," said Henneke.
