If the GOP can capture 38 state legislatures, we can overturn this law, and with it the bulk of the idiotic commerce clause-based rulings over the past 40 years.

I’m surprised Iowa is one of the nine states supporting Obamacare.

Isn't Iowa highly dependent on ethanol subsidies from the gubmint? Perhaps the state AG realizes what side their bread is buttered on, and doesn't want to rock the boat.

That's the best I can do. What's your best guess?

California bleeds money into unpaid medical services, for a variety of reasons that includes illegals. I would also bet that there are a lot of younger age group Californians who don't have insurance because they don't either don't work traditional jobs, and/or they just don't want to buy it. For all the UC system hospitals the state picks up the tab for the money they bleed.

They probably think Obamacare will fix this by making people buy insurance, but it won't (in addition to being unconstitutional).

Why wouldn’t Iowa be for ObamaCare? It is a liberal state.

Thank you!

Idaho Set to Nullify Obama’s Health Care Law

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/20/idaho-nullify-obamas-health-care-law/

“Lawmakers in six other states — Maine, Montana, Oregon, Nebraska, Texas and Wyoming — are also mulling “nullification” bills, which contend states, not the U.S. Supreme Court, are the ultimate arbiter of when Congress and the president run amok.”

Even in Oregon, Sen. Wyden advised that they opt out.

BTW, I think this is they way they should go to remedy this situation. It should be left to the states, and not the courts, no matter how supreme they are.

Why doesn’t the state of kali just make it a state law for everyone to buy insurance.

No surprise that DE supports it. Koe “Stand up, Chuck” Biden’s son is the AG. This, in spite of repeated efforts by many to join the suit against DeathCare.

Conflict of interest, anyone?

A decision to either buy or not buy insurance anything is "economic activity" that affects interstate commerce, which Congress has the power to regulate, the attorneys general said .

There, fixed it.

Demonrats defend government mandates, constitutional or not.

The Demonrat AG of Iowa supports Hussein’s unconstitutional DeathCare plan.

The Republican governor of Iowa does NOT believe Hussein’s plan is constitutional, and so the governor is weighing in for the state.

Tom Miller, the Demonrat AG is a life-long incumbent. Been there for decades.
