INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller released a report Friday detailing a plethora of concerns with the pending federal health care reform bill.

Under state law, the attorney general is required to provide an analysis of how a federally proposed bill would affect the state when the information is requested by a member of Congress, 6News' Rafael Sanchez reported.

U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar and Reps. Dan Burton and Mike Pence made the request. The law dates back to the 1940s.

The AG's report is critical of the health care reform bill that President Barack Obama, during his State of the Union address, urged Congress to pass.

"I can almost guarantee years and years of litigation," Zoeller said. "Some of the things have never been done by the federal government."

Zoeller's office spent four weeks compiling and producing the 56-page analysis.

The report focused on five areas, including constitutionality concerns, Indiana Medicaid costs and overall economic impact.

"You almost have to go back to the days of the New Deal to see if this type of legislative mandate that is this expansive and large," Zoeller said.

Zoeller thinks the bill's mandate that everyone buy health insurance would be unprecedented and that the section that would only fund Nebraska's Medicaid program "goes too far."

The report indicates that the Nebraska issue could violate Article I of the U.S Constitution.

Indiana's Medicaid program would have to enroll nearly 500,000 more people, increasing costs by $2.4 billion over 10 years, the report claims. That figure is based on the actuary for the Family and Social Services Administration.

The report also claims that the Healthy Indiana Program, which allows low-income families to buy state-run health coverage, would have to shut down because people would be moved to the federal plan.

"What they've done is ... subsidized the cost through the government," Zoeller said. "People won't pay for it directly, but the government, therefore taxpayers, will all eventually pick up the bill."

Businesses such as Eli Lilly and WellPoint would take a beating with proposed excise taxes that could affect 19,000 Indiana workers.

Zoeller claimed the report is based on facts and devoid of politics, although many officials involved in its production are Republicans, and the health care proposal is being championed by Democrats.

"I am not politicizing this. It was politicized when it was passed over strictly party line votes," Zoeller said.
