The States Strike Back - Kansas Returns Federal Grant

By Douglas V. Gibbs

First Oklahoma, now Kansas. Republican Governor Sam Brownback returned a large federal grant that would in the long run usher in universal health by creating health insurance exchanges where, in the end, only government medical would be available (despite the deception that the exchange would provide an open marketplace for competing insurance plans - besides, that marketplace already exists if the government would just get the heck out of the way - it's called the "Free Market").

Kansas returned $31.5 million it received along with six other states.

Nullification is on the rise.

Kansas is also one of the states challenging the Constitutionality of Obamacare in court.

Currently, over a third of U.S. states have enacted legislation or made other steps toward establishing an exchange. Legislation is pending in three other states and the District of Columbia.
