From Statesman.com:
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott and 12 attorneys general from other states have filed a lawsuit in a Florida federal court to block implementation of the health care legislation that President Barack Obama signed into law last week.
Abbott and others claim that a provision in the law requiring millions of people to purchase health insurance is unconstitutional. In an interview with the American-Statesman, Abbott talked about the legal basis for his claim and described the cost of his pursuit to taxpayers. Excerpts of that conversation are printed below.
