From South Florida Business Journal:
As promised, Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum on Tuesday filed a lawsuit, alleging that the health care reform law signed by President Barack Obama is unconstitutional.
“This lawsuit should put the federal government on notice that Florida will not permit the constitutional rights of our citizens and the sovereignty of our state to be ignored or disregarded,” McCollum said in a news release.
Attorneys general from South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Louisiana, Alabama, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington, Idaho and South Dakota joined him.
McCollum said the requirement that individuals purchase health care insurance is unconstitutional.
