Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster has not yet signed onto the multistate lawsuit challenging the federal health care law. At least he is beginning to talk about the issue, however. From an article by Brian Hook at the Missouri Watchdog:

Acknowledging the will of the state legislature, a vote by the people, and his fiduciary duty, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster inched closer to challenging the constitutionality of the federal health care law.

“We haven’t finally formulated what the plans are,” said Koster, following a question by Missouri Watchdog about his plans regarding the health care law during a press conference Tuesday in St. Louis.

Twenty-six states have already joined. Why hasn’t Missouri yet? What’s the delay?
