MO: Lt. Governor Drawing Line over Health Care Reform

From dddnews.com:

Missouri’s lieutenant Governor is going to push forward this month with his plan to file a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of President Obama’s health care reform plan.

Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder of Cape Girardeau announced on national television this past week that he intends to file suit in federal court challenging the recently-signed health care legislation.

Kinder said Friday he will seek private funding for the legal challenge instead of using Missouri taxpayer funds. Kinder spoke in a telephone interview from Kansas City as he was preparing to travel across the Show Me State.

Kinder made his law suit announcement during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” Wednesday evening.

“We will continue this fight against the infringement on state sovereignty and personal freedom,” Kinder said.

Kinder said he is filing the lawsuit to protect Missouri taxpayers from what he says will be the phenomenal cost to the state from the federal health care reform.
