PA AG's Participation in Frivolous Lawsuit Challenging Health Care Reform
My Op-Ed on Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett's participation in the frivolous constitutional challenge to health care reform is in today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Corbett is running for governer and his sole proposal for addressing the problems in health has been a vague reference to malpractice reform on his website. His concern over frivolous lawsuits though, apparently does not extend to his use of public funds to garner rightest support for his campaign.
As I noted in the piece, Charles Fried, former solicitor general for President Ronald Reagan and Harvard professor, has called the case "truly silly" and suggested that its proponents are "deeply ignorant or just grandstanding in a preposterous way." The article explains why the 3 claims in the case are baseless.
