These Aren't the Droids You're Looking For

It looks like a 2010 GOP attack on Obamacare may have unwittingly derailed the current administrations ban in 2023.

A decade ago, when conservatives were attacking President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act as government encroachment in health care, they worked to amend state constitutions around the country to affirm a broad right for people to control their own medical decisions.
The Alabama, Arizona, Florida, and Oklahoma amendments referred—in materially identical terms—to the “freedom” of their state residents “to provide for their [own] health care.”
“If you have an amendment that says you have the freedom to choose your health care, then that’s going to apply to all health care: that’s the argument being made,” says David Cohen, a professor of law at Drexel University who studies constitutions and abortion. “It’s like, ‘you used broad words, and these broad words have certain meanings, and we’re just applying those meanings to this context.’”
