Christie vetoes Obamacare

 

 
TRENTON, N.J. — On the same day he visited President Obama at the White House to discuss Superstorm Sandy cleanup efforts, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie vetoed legislation establishing a state-run health insurance exchange Thursday.
He blamed the Obama administration for failing to provide the answers he said he needs to make a fiscally sound decision on the best way to comply with the president’s health care law.
The governor said he has not eliminated any of the options available to states to comply with the national health care overhaul. But he said it would be irresponsible to choose one over the others without knowing the costs of each.
“New Jersey and all other states still await substantial federal guidance on the functioning of all three types of exchanges,” Mr. Christie said in his veto message. “To be sure, the decision of whether to move forward with a state-based exchange can only be fully understood when competitively compared to the overall value of the other options.”  Cont.
