Did anyone think of this when writing
the health bill ?
"President Barack Obama faces a fight over the health-care overhaul from states that sued today because the legislation’s expansion of Medicaid imposes a fiscal strain on their cash-strapped budgets.
Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania are among 14 states that filed suit after the president signed the bill over the constitutionality of the burden imposed by the legislation. The health-care overhaul will make as many as 15 million more Americans eligible for Medicaid nationwide starting in 2014 and will cost the states billions to administer."
"Besides the added Medicaid costs, the states are also challenging the right of the federal government to impose a mandate requiring individuals to buy health insurance. Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, whose state filed a separate lawsuit today challenging the law, called the health legislation an “unconstitutional overreach” of the federal government’s authority. "

To all of those who feel that those of us who oppose this bill are selfish, non christian, non caring people who want people to suffer....THAT is basically the consensus I get from those who posted in celebration.....THIS is ONE of the reasons it was opposed, and always remember it was done in the dark of backrooms !
