More waivers granted for the new health care reform law, this time to whole states.
Where's Wyoming's waiver? Ridiculous that an unelected bureaucrat can decide which laws apply to which states.
The "Affordable" Care Act is simply a stunning boondoggle.
In defending his Medicaid plan Representative Ryan nailed the exact principle the Health Care Freedom Amendment is about:
The President’s plan begins with trillions of dollars in higher taxes, and it relies on a plan to control costs in Medicare that would give a board of 15 unelected bureaucrats in Washington the power to deeply ration care. This would disrupt the lives of those currently in retirement and lead to waiting lists for today’s seniors. … The disagreement isn’t really about the problem. It’s about the solution to controlling costs in Medicare. And if I could sum up that disagreement in a couple of sentences, I would say this: Our plan is to give seniors the power to deny business to inefficient providers. Their plan is to give government the power to deny care to seniors. … That’s the real class warfare that threatens us — a class of governing elites picking winners and losers, and determining our destinies for us.
Leaving aside the question of the solution to the Medicare boondoggle, the fundamental health care question can always be boiled done to, "Who better to make decisions about you health care then you?"
The Health Care Freedom Act says you are.
The people of Wyoming will finally get to make their voice heard in 2012.
SJ-2 survived all amendments and remained as originally presented from the Senate.
