Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder seeks to join 13-state suit against feds on Obamacare
From the St. Louis Business Journal:
Kinder called the health-care overhaul a violation of Missouri’s sovereignty and Missourians’ rights.
“At no other time in the history of our nation has a mandate forced citizens to purchase a product or face penalties, even imprisonment, for not doing so,” Kinder said. “At a time when our state is dealing with vast budget deficits, we cannot afford to have the federal government throw this huge financial burden in our lap.”
Kinder said he would join the suit using his statutory authority as Missouri’s official senior advocate.
I am still unclear in what capacity he expects to join the suit, but glad somebody in Missourah’s ready to fight.
UPDATE: Dana Loesch has more, including the press release.
