TENNESSEE HEALTH FREEDOM ACT PASSES STATE SENATE
SB 3498 by *Beavers ( *HB 3433 by *Harwell)
Health Care - As introduced, enacts "Tennessee Health Freedom Act." would protect a citizen's right to participate, or not participate, in any healthcare system, and would prohibit the federal government from imposing fines or penalties on that person's decision. It does not seek to "nullify" any federal law, as it would still allow individuals the option to participate in a federal program; however, it would also acknowledge the right of individuals to refuse to participate in a government-run health insurance program. The bill also calls on the state's Attorney General to take action in the defense or prosecution of rights protected under the Legislation.
On Wednesday the State Senate passed SB3498 passed 26-1-5. Action on this proposal will now move to State House.
Senators voting aye were: Beavers, Black, Bunch, Burchett, Burks, Crowe, Faulk, Finney L, Ford, Gresham, Henry, Herron, Jackson, Johnson, Kelsey, Ketron, McNally, Norris, Overbey, Southerland, Stewart, Tracy, Watson, Woodson, Yager, Mr. Speaker Ramsey -- 26. Senators voting no were: Berke -- 1. Senators present and not voting were: Barnes, Harper, Haynes, Marrero, Tate -- 5.
