A. If there is a clash between federal law and the Health Care Freedom Act, there will be litigation. But this is a legal battle that has been fought before and won before. We recognize that the Supremacy Clause renders federal law as the law of the land. However, states may provide stronger protection of individual freedoms than the U.S. Constitution allows. In the case of federal-state conflict, courts must balance the competing interests. Several recent Supreme Court cases have upheld the power of states to protect individual freedoms. Q. Do other states have legislation similar to the Health Care Freedom Act? A. Yes. Currently, 19 other states have filed legislation and another 10 states intend to file legislation.
