From Dallas Morning News:
Abbott, in a written statement late Sunday, said the state would act “to protect all Texans’ constitutional rights, preserve the constitutional framework intended by our nation’s founders, and defend our state from further infringement by the federal government.”
Officials in at least 10 states have agreed to file a lawsuit. Some of the attorneys general, all of whom are Republicans, have said the bill violates state sovereignty by requiring that all Americans have some form of health insurance.
Several states have tried to take action: Virginia and Idaho have passed legislation aimed at blocking the bill’s insurance requirement in their states.
