Barbara Ann Radnofsky Challenges Greg Abbott's Absurdity On Healthcare Reform

Barbara Ann Radnofsky , who is running for TX Attorney General, mentioned today that Congress has the power to regulate insurance. In United States v. South-Eastern Underwriters Association, the Supreme Court in 1944 ruled that insurance falls under the US Constitution's Commerce Clause regulated by Congress. Guess what that means? It is constitutional! 

Sorry, GOP. You have officially wasted our time and money with the lawsuit against the feds. TX Attorney General Greg Abbott, Governor Rick 39% Perry, and House Speaker Joe Straus all need to be shown the door in November. They continue to waste taxpayer dollars with grandstanding for political gain, and not the good of Texans. The Texas Tribune points out that Abbott took the reverse position last year in mandating that divorced parents purchase insurance for their children. This is the ultimate in waffling, flip flopping, or whatever other term you can muster. Stop wasting our money and time, GOP. Massachusetts Congressman Edward Markey had it right on Sunday when he said the Republican Party is the "party of nope". Grandstand Oppose and Postpone is what GOP stands for now.
