When it comes to the new health care law, some Governors are in states of denial.  Hello, I'm Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C.  Today, America's Governors will have the chance to do what the Supreme Court didn't: reject ObamaCare.  According to the court, the federal government has to set up the President's system--but it can't force states to run it.  That's a big problem, because the law was built on the idea that states would run--and help pay for--their own health care exchanges.  The President didn't count on states backing out-because if they do, the federal government doesn't have enough money to pick up the slack.  As Iowa's Governor said, "We don't to get trapped in something we can't afford and can't be sustained."  That's why more than half of the 30 Republican Governors are opting out.  That takes courage, but in five years, when other states are swimming in debt, I guarantee their voters will thank them!
