This is just a dumb question, but I am going to ask it anyway...
When I learned about the environmental laws one thing I recall standing out like a sore thumb was that the states had to adopt “at least” the federal level of regulation. They could not have laws less stringent than the fed, but they could have laws more stringent.
So why is 0bamacare any different? Is it because the environmental laws supposedly deal with shared resources? Which health care really isn’t a shared resource?
That is a very good question.
It was probably a bribe. I mean the Feds offered so much in environmental cleanup funds that the states could hardly refuse.
But I would have to see the actual laws.
