Kansas Senate may block health freedom amendment
Kansas lawmakers debate a constitutional amendment to limit federal health care mandates amid a split in the Legislature. Supporters argue state action is needed, while opponents say the U.S. Supreme Court or Congress will decide the issue. The measure faces tough odds in the Senate and has drawn protests about taxpayer cost. The House previously fell short of a two thirds vote, and the political climate shifts with new members and Tea Party influence. A federal lawsuit challenges the health care law, with an appeal expected after a Florida judge struck it down as unconstitutional.
