cheap nfl jerseys Calif. Gop Urges Suit Over Health Care Overhaul

Senate Republicans called for Attorney General Jerry Brown of California on Tuesday to join other states to sue the federal government oncheap nfl jerseys health reform. The legislator says Congress can not force people to buy health insurance or another product. Attorney-General of 13 other states have a complaint about the healthcare reform that President Barack Obama filed signed into law. The bill would require a majority of Americans have health insurance. I have many Californians share the same opinion, that think this is the biggest expansion of government in a generation, said Senate minority leader Dennis Hollingsworth, R-Murrieta. State Senator Tom Harman, R-Huntington Beach, sent a letter to Brown.
The federal government in what can and can not do by the Constitution, is limited, said Harman, calling the measure an infringement commerce clause.
Brown issued a statement saying he had instructed his deputies to review the claims made by the senators.
However, Brown, a Democrat and former two-term governor, noted that all but one of the 13 attorneys general who vowed legal action were Republicans.
"Health care is not the place, with people's lives at stake, to engage in poisonous partisanship," Brown said in the statement.

Poizner, the state insurance commissioner, said consumers could face higher health insurance premiums and an onerous mandate to get health insurance whether they want it or not.
Whitman campaign spokeswoman Sarah Pompei called the health care plan a "new, big government program."
The Republican lawmakers also decried what they called an unfunded mandate, estimating the plan would cost California taxpayers $3 billion.

Oaks, said voters should have final approval over the measure.
"It's clear to me that people's voices are not being heard in Washington, D.C., or in Sacramento," Strickland said. "At a time when we a have high unemployment rate, this is going to be devastating to our California economy."
The California Democratic Party said the health care overhaul will provide insurance coverage to 7.3 million Californians who do not currently have it and give a tax credit to nfl jerseyssome 390,000 small businesses in the state.
