TALLAHASSEE — Attorney General Pam Bondi made the media rounds Monday morning touting the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that struck down part of the Obama administration’s health care overhaul on Fox News.
“What they’re saying is if the federal government can order us to do this, if they can force us to purchase a product, simply by being alive, that is unconstitutional and they cannot do that and that’s what we’ve been arguing from day 1,” Bondi said on the Fox program, America’s Newsroom.
The court struck down a requirement that all Americans must carry health insurance, but allowed the remainder of the health care overhaul to stay in place. Bondi is leading a 26-state lawsuit against the federal government.
The next step, Bondi said, is the Supreme Court, so that the country can get a final say on all of the health care changes.
“We need to get to the Supreme Court as fast as possible,” she said.
