Sens. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., and Lindsey Graham, R-SC, just introduced a bill that gives states the opportunity to opt out of the mandates included in the health care reform bill. It would allow states to refuse the individual, employer, and Medicaid mandates, as well as mandates for levels of coverage.
Both senators conceded that their real goal is to bring down the health care law entirely and start over, with Graham saying, "The way this bill was passed is the worst of Washington, and I'm going to do everything I can to bring it down."

Obama has already granted waivers to Ohio & New Jersey. A few others, too.
Graham is as evil as Obama.
Just let everyone who believes in socialized medicine form whatever sort of system amongst themselves that they want and leave the rest of us out of it.
They are clueless, aren’t they? Where is the double facepalm pic?
Lindsey Graham is garbage. Totally worthless little queer.
He doesn’t need to do a darn thing, a judge just killed it. Tinkering with it now will only revive it.
Now, is this proposal going to add an assurance that a State can “opt in” then “opt out” later or is it just one democrat “opt in” away from permanent for every state all the time? This is stupid, illegal, and clearly contrary to the Constitution and whoever supports it has no regard whatsoever for the law. Regards
A judge just opted the states out for them.
unreal
What did you expect from Grahamnesty?
Graham is an idiot. Why do some citizens get punished with the mess and others, who happen to live in states without Chuck U Schumer, get a pass?
This man such an embarrassment to this country.
The bill just had it’s collective @$$ handed to it and team Obiongo too, and he wants to get out in front of the issue and be a deal maker? What are the people in South Carolina smoking to send this goober back?
Way to stand up like a he-man, Lindsey. Two judges have ruled this thuggish piece of garbage unconstitutional. It is a gross attack on our liberty. And you, you big John Wayne type hero, you’re going to ask that Hussein’s minions PERMIT certain states to pass!!! “Will you pleeeeeeze let fill-in-the-blank state and its grubby little, unworthy inhabitants actually run their own lives on this one Mr. President.” “Please, please, please! I PROMISE we’ll let you run roughshod over the rest of our rights from now on!!!” You are a friggin’ disgrace, Grahamnesty. A spineless, limp-wristed, faggot.
This idiot wants a bill to modify unconstitutional legislation! He is snatching defeat from victory.
As bad as I may feel for you, Boxer, Feinstein and Pelosi trump your twaddling little Chucky boy.
CA would be force fed this crap sandwich under this inane proposal.
All one has to do is look at what happened here in ‘10. RATS won every position up for election.
The whole damn thing needs to be canned, just like the judge ruled.
If you can opt, it ain’t a mandate. Pretty simple, actually....

Hey Linda, good news for you... the membership in your ping list is slowly shrinking. Fewer and fewer FReepers are interested in what a pathetic queer like you is doing.
