Kansas Attorney General Steve Six will not take any legal action against the new health care law unlike the other 13 states. The law requires that most Americans must buy health insurance by 2014.
Instead Virginia has managed to file a suit of its own and its Legislature passed a law to prevent the state from making the insurance a mandatory buy. Six believed that Kansas could not successfully challenge the new law.
Six shared that his decision is based strictly on the law and not politics.
He shares that unless a clear and direct constitutional violation is shown, the U. S. Supreme Court will not be willing to overturn legislative acts.
Six said, "The Supremacy Clause makes these laws supreme, regardless of any state laws or state constitutional provisions to the contrary. No serious argument may be advanced that the healthcare industry and all those who participate in it - including doctors, nurses, patients and insurers - are not part of interstate commerce".
The very idea that makes it compulsory for all the citizens to buy a health insurance is unconstitutional is very unlikely to gain success.
Six added further that Kansas has no separate legal interest apart from the states that have filed the lawsuit. He shared that there no doubt about the fact that any decision by the U. S. Supreme Court will apply equally to their state as well.
