Fighting Costs of Healthcare Plan
Governor Jan Brewer is a leader in defending Arizona from President Obama’s health care reform law and the $1 billion a year cost to the Arizona taxpayers. The Arizona Legislature passed a law in special session permitting the Governor to initiate a legal proceeding and appear on behalf of the State to challenge Congress’s unconstitutional action.
- Arizona joined with 18 other states to file a lawsuit in federal court challenging the constitutionality of the federal health care legislation.
- Health care regulation is a power reserved to the States by the 10th amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Congress has overreached by requiring individuals to purchase health insurance and penalizing them if they do not.
- The costs associated with the litigation will be minimal (under $5,000), but nothing compared to the enormous costs that this unconstitutional mandate will exact upon our precious liberties guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution.
Please take a minute to view my stance on other important issues facing our state and the steps I have taken to face these challenges:
- Reducing the Size of Government
- Curbing the Regulatory State
- Stopping Illegal Immigration
- Supporting Right-to-Work
- Doing Away With Political Correctness
- Protecting Second Amendment Rights
- Protecting the Sanctity of Life
- Creating Jobs and Investment in AZ
- Protecting Education and Public Safety
