USA Today (LA) (excerpt)

Speaking Friday on a Republican National Committee Conference Call, Jindal called the health care plan a "blow to our freedoms" and said the "president forced this law on us," according to a report on the ABC News blog The Note.The payoff quote: "It really raises the question of what's next, what's allowable," Jindal said.

The Washington Post's The Plum Line blog took note of Jindal's defiance in saying Louisiana won't be implementing the law, especially the health-care exchanges.
