From WWL-TV:
Gov. Bobby Jindal has signed into Louisiana law an objection to President Barack Obama's signature health care revamp.
The bill by Republican Kirk Talbot — signed by Jindal on Tuesday — declares that no one in Louisiana can be required to have health insurance or be required to pay a penalty if they refuse to carry insurance.
The measure is symbolic, including language that nothing in it should be construed to supersede federal law.
What a waste of the legislature's and the governor's time - passing and signing into law a symbol with no meaning to back it up. A sop to the Teapartiers, I'm sure.
Thanks to Paul (A.), but I'd already read the story but was too lazy to post. I give Paul credit for prodding.
Note: I'm overtaken by lassitude. No telling what you might find here today, including nothing further. ;-)
If your weather's anything like mine, lassitude is appropriate. We're finally under triple digits but it's still hot.
ReplyDeletePaul (A.), I've been reading about your miserably hot weather. I hope that things improve soon.
ReplyDeleteToday our weather could be a lot worse. Present temperature is 91 degrees with 59% humidity. If lassitude was the order of the day in hot weather here, I'd have to give up blogging for the summer months.
