“Delegate Eric Householder, R-Berkeley, plans to introduce legislation during the 2014 session of the West Virginia House of Delegates that could nullify the Affordable Care Act in the state. If enacted, Householder’s bill would eliminate the ACA in West Virginia and make it a state felony to attempt to enforce its provisions. ‘As you know, for the first time in our history, Americans are going to be forced to purchase health insurance – or be penalized heavily by the federal government,’ Householder said. According to Householder, the Constitution does not give the federal government the power to regulate intrastate commerce.”
