From DelawareOnline:

Republican-sponsored House Bill 353, which has no Democrats as sponsors, would specify that Delawareans are free to choose — or decline to choose — all health care services without penalty.

It declares that only the state has the legal authority to regulate private health-care insurance and services within its borders, and it directs the attorney general to defend the state against challenges to it.

Rep. Deborah Hudson, R-Fairthorne and a sponsor of the bill, said it “preserves Delawareans’ freedom of choice in matters of health care” and defends Delaware’s right to govern its own citizens.

“I just want to be able to have states’ rights,” Hudson said in introducing the bill.

Rep. Ruth Briggs King, R-Georgetown and a co-sponsor of the bill, said the legislation is a defense against the intrusion of the federal government into the authority of state government.
