Healthcare reform legislation: How Ohio can fight back
U.S District Judge Roger Vinson recently ruled that the federal health reform law was unconstitutional. Eventually, the Supreme Court will have to deliver the final verdict on the law. The measure has been unpopular with Buckeye State voters for some time; more than 60 percent favored repeal in a Rasmussen poll taken just before the midterm elections. Fortunately, Ohio can help defeat this top-heavy federal takeover of its residents' access to health care. By refusing to establish the "health insurance exchanges" prescribed by the new law, Ohio's leaders can avoid wasting state tax dollars doing the reform law's dirty work -- and protect the health insurance choices of their constituents in the process.
