On Monday, Indiana became the 14th state to challenge the health reform law. Indiana, along with the other states, are raising constitutional questions about the new legislation. The main reason being the fact that Congress does not have the right to force people to buy health insurance, and then pay a fine if they do not buy it.
I agree with the States stance on this issue. Why should people who don't want health care or do not need health care be forced to buy it. The people are free do what they wish with the money they earn, and if they do not need health care, they should not be forced to have it. And then, after that, they are punished for not having something that they do not want or need. I don't see how spending billions of dollars on a health care plan, that will only help some people, is good for our country. What is the point of doing that, especially when not everyone agrees. I know that not everyone is going to see eye-to-eye on everything, but when entire states are challenging the law, I think that something more should be done.
