Louisiana State Senator Challenges Health “Reform” Plans
Twenty-nine and counting.
That’s the number of states in which legislators have introduced, or plan to introduce, legislation challenging the House or Senate health care bills that include a personal mandate, sweetheart deals (Cornhusker Kickback), and commandeering of state offices.
According to the Pelican Institute for Public Policy, A.G. Crowe, a member of the Louisiana Senate, “has authored legislation that seeks to ‘Prohibit state or local governmental coercion of any Louisiana employer, health care provider, or individual to compel participation in any health care system or health insurance plan.’”
Among the legal objections to the House and Senate bills: They violate the Equal Protection clause, the Interstate Commerce Clause, and a recent Supreme Court ruling on the relationship of the federal government to the states.
