Six refuses to challenge ObamaCare

Attorney General Steve Six will not join the coalition of states currently pursuing legal action against the federal health-care legislation. Six issued a statement today commenting that he did not believe that “Kansas could successfully challenge the law.”
Kansas Republican leaders and candidates requested that Six join the 14 other states who are examining the constitutionality of the reform, which mandates that every United States resident purchase health insurance. The bill also creates an unfunded mandate requiring the state to expand Medicaid coverage.

Link to: According to Attorney General Six:

“Our review did not reveal any constitutional defects, and thus it would not be legally or fiscally responsible to pursue this litigation,” Six said. “Arguments have been advanced that the law’s requirement that all individuals purchase health insurance is unconstitutional. Under current U. S. Supreme Court precedent such an argument is highly unlikely to succeed.”
