Washington, DC—Representative James Lankford (R-OK), Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, today introduced the House Joint Resolution legislative proposal for the Health Care Compact, a breakthrough governance reform that allows states to clean up the health care mess created by the federal government.

“The Health Care Compact is a way for states to protect their residents from the top-down, one-size-fits-all health care ‘solutions’ that have been imposed from Washington DC, including Obamacare,” said Lankford.

“The compact transfers health care decision-making authority and responsibility from the federal level to member states. Those member states are then free to implement their own health care systems without interference from federal bureaucrats, using federal health care funds already collected and spent in their state.”

State run health care systems are just as bad as a federal run one.

I would like to see the states being allowed to vote on Government run healthcare vs private health care. Then we would be able to live in a state that had freedom of health choices. Our freedoms are disappearing as quickly as our liberty and privacy. Hell in a handbasket.

I prefer the earlier bill he cosponsored, H.R. 2, repeal.
