From Radio Iowa:
The three Republican candidates for governor say Iowa’s governor and attorney general should launch a legal challenge of the new, national health care reform plan President Obama will sign into law tomorrow. Governor Culver and Attorney General Tom Miller are Democrats, however, and neither plans to file such a lawsuit.
Two of the three Republican candidates for governor say the State of Iowa should invoke the 10th amendment of the U.S. Constitution and assert state sovereignty to avoid having the national health care plan go into effect in Iowa. Bob Vander Plaats says the U.S. Constitution doesn’t give the federal government authority to run the health care system.
