Idaho legislators stand up for us!
The great state of Idaho has made a bold and courageous step for the people. I am so proud of our political leaders. Can you believe it?
It is HB 391: "STATEMENT OF PUBLIC POLICY. The power to require or regulate a person's choice in the mode of securing health care services, or to impose a penalty related thereto, is not found in the Constitution of the United States of America, and is therefore a power reserved to the people pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, and to the several states pursuant to theTenth Amendment. The state of Idaho hereby exercises its sovereign power to declare the public policy of the state of Idaho regarding the right of
all persons residing.
It is hereby declared that the public policy of the state of Idaho, consistent with our constitutionally recognized and inalienable rights of liberty, is that every person within the state of Idaho is and shall be free to choose or decline to choose any mode of securing health care services without penalty or threat of penalty."
Rep. Jim Clark, a Hayden Lake Republican, said Thursday his "Health Freedom Act" would give Idaho a solid foundation to sue the federal government over any health insurance mandates he says would be unconstitutional." KREM.com Spokane
So our legislators are really getting smart and using our Constitution to tell the President that their health care reform bill will not be tolerated nor will it be recognized as law. Several other states are doing the same thing. Basically, Idaho is telling Congress to butt out of our State and let the State take care of Idaho without their interference. I am so proud. Send your support to them and let them know how happy we are.
