Health insurance
It’s mandated for autos, why not for people?
Dear Editor:
What is going on with our attorney general, Rob McKenna?
He is suing the federal government on the basis that HCR is unconstitutional, i.e., mandatory health insurance for individuals, even if it is subsidized for those on lower incomes.
What’s next Mr. McKenna? Another suit to dissolve the U.S. Air Force because it is not in the constitution?
Or maybe a McKenna lawsuit to abolish county, state, and interstate highways along with automobile insurance, or even automobiles, because they are not in the constitution?
When you drive in Washington, you must have an ID and proof of auto insurance. If you drive a vehicle that is registered in Washington, it is required to be registered under Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 46.16, and you must have an auto insurance policy.
Mr. McKenna, you might do a little review and see that federal law trumps state law.
Or you could try to get Washington to secede from the union and give up all our state financial aid and facilities we obtain from our federal government.
