Democrat Attorney General Joins Lawsuit Against ObamaCare

Missouri's Democrat Attorney General Chris Koster has joined Florida and other states in a lawsuit against ObamaCare, according to LegalNewsline.com.

"Upholding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's individual mandate as a legitimate exercise of congressional power under the Commerce Clause would imbue Congress with police powers rejected by the Founding Fathers and never before permitted by the Supreme Court," Koster wrote.

"Within the health care arena, the power to penalize one's decision not to purchase health insurance is indistinguishable from granting Congress the power to penalize individuals for not obtaining an annual check-up or prostate exam, for not vaccinating one's children, or for not maintaining a specific body-mass.

"Outside the health care arena, granting Congress such new power would... allow Congress not only the authority to penalize a farmer's planting of wheat, but also grant Congress the power to penalize a farmer's decision not to plant wheat." Tweet
