From postcrescent.com:
Two Wisconsin GOP legislators will try to block the state from implementing parts of the federal health care reform law.
A bill being circulated by Sen. Joe Liebham of Sheboygan and Rep. Robin Vos of Racine would amend the state Constitution to prohibit passing any law requiring residents to participate in a health care plan.
The new health care law requires each state to create a health care exchange by 2014. Atty. Gen. J.B. Van Hollen claims the law is unconstitutional and joined a multistate lawsuit against the law in January. Wisconsin also is looking into private alternatives to the health care exchanges.
