Idaho Governor First To Sign Law That Requires His Attorney General To Sue Congress If Health Insurance Reforms Forces Residents To Buy Insurance

The AP reports that "Idaho Gov. C.L. 'Butch' Otter on Wednesday became the first state chief executive to sign a measure requiring his attorney general to sue Congress if it passes health reforms that force residents to buy insurance. Similar legislation is pending in 37 other states nationwide. Constitutional law experts say the move is mostly symbolic because federal laws supersede those of the states. But the movement reflects a growing national frustration with President President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul… 'What the Idaho Health Freedom Act says is that the citizens of our state won’t be subject to another federal mandate or turn over another part of their life to government control,' Otter said."
