Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, Inc. also offered to assist the CDC/FDA in creating a better system and they of course were never taken up on their generous offer. This Iowa bill is also a prime example of nullification. The federal government never had the constitutional power to pass the 1986 Act or the PREP Act. When a law violates the Constitution it is null and void of law. Art. 1 Sec. 8 provides all of the legislative powers delegated to the federal government by the state and the people of the state. If it ain't on this list they have no authority to make law on it......anything not in Art. 1 Sec. 8 belongs to the states and the people of the states. It is time people understood their founding documents and stop basing your knowledge on what constitutionally illiterate lawyers and elected tell you these documents mean. The federal government was delegated extremely limited and defined powers while the states were left with the rest. But we have allowed others to tell us what those powers are and what they mean. There is no twisting of what they mean. They mean what they say and say what they mean. There is no clause in the Constitution that extends the federal government beyond their enumerated powers but they twist those clauses to steal power and the public school system is so dumbed down (by design) that most people have no clue about how things are supposed to work.
