Gregoire, misses the mark as usual. McKenna is challenging the constitutionality of the federal law. How many people it may help has nothing to do with it. It is the manner in which people would be taxed and penalized under that law.

Do you suppose that McKenna does not really understand that his main constitutional duty is to make the governor happy? If you want a political hack in the position, run for the job yourself Kenny.

The bill is nothing more than a huge reckless expansion of an already out of control government...

With the passage of the legislation letting the federal government take control of the country's medical care system, a major turning point has been reached in the dismantling of America's values and institutions. Even the massive transfer of crucial decisions from millions of doctors and patients to Washington bureaucrats and advisory panels — as momentous as that is — does not measure the full impact of this largely unread and certainly unscrutinized legislation. With politicians now having access to our most confidential records and having the power of granting or withholding medical care needed to sustain ourselves or our loved ones, how many people will be bold enough to criticize our public servants, who will in fact have become our public masters? The corrupt manner in which this massive legislation was rammed through Congress, without any of the committee hearings or extended debates that most landmark legislation has had, has provided a road map for pushing through more such sweeping legislation in utter defiance of what the public wants. investors.com
