Tomorrow all eyes will be on Florida as the state will make its case against the new Federal Health Care laws.

Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum is leading the charge to block part of the new regulations from taking effect in Florida. One issue McCollum is taking issue with is a provision requiring people to buy health insurance. McCollum says it’s unconstitutional.

“In the US Constitution there’s no place in it where the federal government is given the power to say, if you are sitting at home watching television that you’ve got to buy a product of any type, especially in this case a health care policy,” said McCollum.

Governor Charlie Crist, who is running for US Senate as an independent, says he would have voted against the bill had he been in Congress at the time. But he recently told an Orlando reporter otherwise.

“Obviously there are things in that bill that are disturbing and would have caused me to vote against that bill had I had the opportunity. There are things in there that are not bad either. One of them tries to get rid of the health insurance discriminatory practice of that if you have a preexisting condition you can’t get coverage,” said Crist.

The hearing begins at 9:00 central time tomorrow in Pensacola.
