This governor is getting sued...for a trying to help more folks with health care..business group wants to stop the state from expanding the program or spending any money on it...BD
Gov. Rod Blagojevich's plan for a multimillion-dollar expansion of a health care program without legislative approval has landed the state in court, with a business group claiming in a lawsuit Tuesday that it would be unconstitutional to spend the money.
"The message ultimately, when it's played out, will be: 'We've got a constitution; Governor, obey the constitution,' " said businessman Ron Gidwitz, chairman of the Illinois Coalition for Jobs, Growth and Prosperity, the group that filed the lawsuit.
Blagojevich has embarked on a piecemeal expansion of government-subsidized health care since lawmakers failed to support his plan to pay the huge cost of ensuring that everyone in Illinois has access to affordable insurance.
