Kobach asks Congress to help Kansas skirt ACA
Secretary of State Kris Kobach urged Congress to affirm a health care compact among Kansas and other states to sidestep the Affordable Care Act. He argued inter state cooperation would shield citizens from federal health care influence and restore a constitutional balance, noting Supreme Court decisions he says weakened federal health power. Kansas lawmakers and Gov. Brownback approved a 2014 bill backing participation in the compact, with Insurance Commissioner Ken Selzer endorsing it as a way to curb bloated programs.
