Supreme Court and health care law: state sovereignty at stake
The Supreme Court hears various challenges to the health-care law next week. While the individual mandate will be the focus, state sovereignty is also at stake, especially in state reform of health care.
"In both these Supreme Court cases and this year’s presidential campaign, the health-care law is reviving a debate over state sovereignty that is as old as the Constitutional Convention of 1787. But this time the issue is linked to the rights of individuals not to be penalized for simply not engaging in an economic activity, such as the health system."
