The Tennessee House and Senate have now passed resolutions critical of the new federal health care overhaul.
In the Senate, the resolution urges the state Attorney General to sue the federal government over the plan. That resolution passed 21 to 7.
A different bill was offered in the house by Mount Juliet Republican Susan Lynn, who appeared to have some difficulty describing Medicare.
Legislative staff wrote that the resolution "Expresses opposition to the institution of new federal review, oversight, or preemption of state health insurance laws, the creation of a federal health insurance exchange or connector, and the creation of a federal health insurance plan (public plan) option."
Although Health Care Reform was signed into law weeks ago, the House resolution asked Congress not to pass the bill.
