AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine Attorney General William Schneider says the cost of joining a lawsuit in Florida against President Obama’s health care overhaul is “negligible.”
Federal judge Roger Vinson in Florida already has accepted an amended petition that includes the six additional states: Maine, Ohio, Kansas, Wyoming, Wisconsin and Iowa.
Schneider says all citizens should have access to “good quality and affordable health care.” But he says, “the repairs to the system cannot be based on an unconstitutional foundation.”
Schneider says Mainers needn’t fret over the expense. He says the costs of joining the lawsuit are negligible and future costs are expected to be “minimal.”
