From miamiherald:
Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell said Tuesday the state will join 20 others led mostly by Republican governors in suing to overturn the health care overhaul bill signed into law last month by President Barack Obama.
Calling it an “unprecedented exercise of congressional power,” Parnell said Alaska would follow the other states in challenging the constitutionality of the mandate that people buy health care insurance or pay a fine.
“For the first time we now have a federal government dictating our economic activity,” Parnell said. “Alaska will use the courts to fight this federal encroachment on our citizens.”
