Brownback says he won’t support state-federal health insurance exchange
Wichita Business Journal ^ | 11/08/2012 | Emily Behlmann

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback says he won’t support Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger’s grant application to create a state-federal partnership health insurance exchange.

The exchange is an online marketplace where individuals can by health insurance policies.

A partnership is one of three choices for states under the federal health reform law. States could also choose to establish their own exchanges or let the federal government do it for them.

With all due respect to my Freeper friends, THIS is the way to go, USE the rules in Obamacare to slow and undermine and halt Obamacare! That, and use the Courts on issues like State Mandates and the Conscience Clause issues.

Yes. If that doesn’t work. Nullification is the next step.

Well, glad somebody is fighting it since Boehner became a Quisling.

I’m not going to lie, I’m rather demoralized at our prospects of fighting another four years with the House quitting on us.

No, don’t feel demoralized. This is good. Let the states assert their 10th Amendment rights. I think if you look at the election results you’ll see a befuddled electorate. They don’t trust either side and don’t understand all the issues.

They don’t want debt or deflation or inflation or high interest rates and they don’t want to pay for their entitlements and government goodies, but the also don’t want to lose them. In the face of all that they voted status quo. If governors assert themselves they’ll come off winners. Who is closer to the people their governor or the President way off in DCland?

I don't know that they did. This is the current House Majority Leadership speaking...there will be a new Congress seated in January.

If they reelect Boehner, especially after the latest ObamaCare comment, I'll join you in your depression.

They will, count on it. (IMHO, of course.)

There is also a state constitution amendment being pushed to ignore Obamacare in Kansas. Our local longtime (dem) rep is looking at a 18 vote diff forcing counting provisional ballots on Monday. He opposed the amendment and was branded a friend of Barak.

The ONLY way Boehner will lose the Senate Majority Leader job is if there is a big scandal that he covered up or perceived to have covered up OR he loses the House to the Democrats.....or of course if he retires. But now that I think about it Nancy Pelosi is STILL Minority Leader so maybe Boehner is in the job until he wants to leave...

If Romney won he would have given every state the option of waivers. Letting the rat governors turn it down at their own peril. But there are more ways to skin this cat but it will be messy.

The blowback will come when full time workers become part-time or laid off or companies opt for the crappy health care option. Try blaming that on Bush!

My own view, precisely.

When I was in high school, we were taught that nullification was a bad thing, now, I am starting to think that it may be the was of the best ways to preserve the Republic.

Mary Fallin, the RINO governor of OK, better get with it. She’s been silent so far about her intentions. She’s another one who got the nomination because it was “her turn”.

Great ticket. Amnesty for illegals, and in-state tuition to reward illegal alien spawn while punishing law abiding Americans from neighboring states by making them pay higher out of state tuition..

Yeah right. Boehner has been a great Senate Majority Leader. Any other insights you want to share?
