Ms. Brown, 56 years old, had health-care insurance for herself and her husband several years ago but dropped it because the $1,100-a-month cost was prohibitive, she said in an interview. Referring to the health overhaul, she said: “No one has the right to try to control how you spend your money.”
When the states filed their lawsuit in Pensacola, Fla., in March, Ms. Brown wasn’t taking a salary in order to keep her business afloat. The Gulf oil spill of spring 2010l, in particular, slowed demand for repairs of commercial vehicles. She began putting personal savings into the business.
Ms. Brown fought “every day” to keep the business open, said Ed Moorhead, who used to work there as a mechanic. “I hung in there a lot longer than I should have,” Ms. Brown said.
