Half of All States Now Suing to Stop Obamacare

If it is allowed to be implemented, Obamacare will eventually do deep and Irreparable Harm To Our Nation’s Budget Deficit. But while Obamacare is more of a long-term threat to fiscal health at the federal level, it is a  clear and present danger to the states. Of the 34 million Americans who gain health insurance through Obamacare, over half (18 million) will receive it through Medicaid.

While the federal government will pay for a portion of the liabilities it doesnt pay for it all and it will not pay for any of the States administrative costs for adding 18 Million Americans to their welfare rolls. That amounts to Billions in unfunded federal mandates for states to absorb.

33 Republican governors have signed a Letter to the White House and Congress making an emphatic appeal that the laws Medicaid provisions be repealed. It is also why the newly elected governors of Ohio, Oklahoma, Maine, and Wisconsin have all decided to sue the Obama administration in hopes of stopping Obamacare. Specifically, Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma Has Announced that the State will pursue its own case against the law, while Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker will add their states to Florida’s multi-state suit.

Additionally, Maine's new Attorney General William Schneider Announced Maine would also join the the Florida litigation. That brings the number of states on the Florida suit to 23 and the total number of states suing to stop Obamacare (which includes Virginia and Oklahoma) to 25.
