Leonard Urges AGs To Challenge Health Law

Republican Ryan Leonard has called on Attorneys General from across the country to challenge the constitutionality of the newly-passed health care measure when it becomes law. Leonard, a candidate for Oklahoma attorney general, has been calling for a constitutional challenge to the proposal for months.

"I believe the federal mandate in this bill requiring every American to purchase health insurance is unconstitutional. It is an unprecedented form of federal action, and an intrusion into the personal lives of Americans," Leonard said. "If the legal challenge to the federal mandate is successful, the law will fail."
