If women have the right to control their reproductive lives (read that: their health), why don't I have the right to control my health? Seems a major disconnect.
Thanks for the ping AV
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, Good Going!
There are many more loop holes to let the air out of
BomaCare. The BomaBots popped the corks a bit early.
Don't give the credit where it is not due - this reform happened in 1995 as part of Contract With America, after the 1994 Gingrich Revolution. Clinton was forced to sign a whole bunch of them after his infamous "The era of Big Government is over!" "concession" speech after Novemebr 1994 elections.
We'll see how Obama will try to publicly (he won't mean it either way) placate us with after 2010 mid-term elections, or if he will try to double down. In either case he will blame Republicans for anything that is perceived as "bad" and take credit for anything that is perceived as "good" policy, to be determined by his media handlers.
Very good work Anti-Hillary. Thank you. Your humble opinion on getting this out to as many as possible is right on!!!
There are people here who run Live groups for Rush, Savage, Beck, Levin, Hannity and others - can they get this to the shows? Drudge would be great too.
We have to send a copy to all the AGs. I posted the VA and FL contacts last night.
Exactly. One of the things that Republicans should do after Novemeber elections - on the way to defunding and repealing of ObamaCare and instituting some reforms of their own - would be to outlaw and dismantle the “insurance wall” by the states that prevent out-of-state competition, which should be prohibited by the commerce clause.
would that be “discrimination”
Post. post , post where and whenever you can. Did you send to VA and FL AGs already???
One of the reasons why the AG’s lawsuits should get fast tracked is if this is unconstitutional and it is not addressed rapidly then the private healthcare system will fall apart and be destroyed. This is wht the libs want.
That is an EXCELLENT point. Our Congressholes really screwed the pooch with this legislation, didn’t they? This thing could be litigated for years. In the end, though, they’re going to do what they want to do, and us little people be damned. That’s why there is a Tea Party, and why I don’t think it will go away any time soon.
Wouldn’t it be ironic, if somehow the precedent set by Roe takes down CommieCare??? I agree with your premise. To say that a woman has total control over her body per the constitution, then I should have control over my body as i see fit. IOW, I can not be mandated to only recieve care that the government sees fit for me to have.
A lot of Docs are waiting to see how this plays out over the next 2-3 months before they decide to quit or not. Docs are hard-wired to make changes in the summer - med school graduation and start internship July 1, start residency July 1, to service July 1, etc, so I suspect a lot of them will plan to retire around July 1st if Obamacare looks like it's going to continue. I hope the Bill is dead by then. . .
I don’t see how this will be a “significant problem” for the bums currently in charge. They have two options:
— fund the mandates. What’$ a few more billion, anyway?
or
— repeal Clinton’s legislation. “Unfunded Mandates Reform Act” sounds so 90s. Totally passe. This is the era of arugula and boob belts. Let the states eat cake.

Who are the other AGs in these cases?
New Jersey Physcians Inc. is the group in NJ filing suit. I cannot find a web site. The organization was founded in 2007 and has a membership of 1,600 doctors.
Steven KErn is their attorney.
Thanks for this post. Good ole Billy! Sadly, I kinda miss his type of Dem in the House. I couldn’t stand him, and though we never saw his medical records, we knew who he was! This unfunny Kenyan is kinda scary!
Simple...
you breath...so there must be some CO2 emissions...
...thus contributing to global warming in adjacent states...
so is interstate commerce

Sadly the Unfunded Mandate Reform act of 95 won’t stop anything in obamacare.
If I read the mandate correctly ti says that IF new legislation causes a state more than 50 Million a year then Congress would require CBO to score it and then Congress must explain why it is important.
this from a WaPo David Broder piece in 2005
“Basically, it was no more than a requirement that committees of Congress, when writing a bill that would impose new duties on states, local governments or private companies, obtain an estimate of the additional costs they would entail and make those part of their report on the legislation.
Under the newly approved procedure, any mandate that would cost state or local governments more than $50 million a year, or private business $100 million, would be subject to a point of order during debate — and legislators would have to vote specifically that the benefit was worth the cost.”
really a toothless waste of voting.
How disappointing but if we keep trying we will stop this
Throwing it ALL at the wall to see what sticks!!!! I shall never tire, I shall never rest! As it was once said; I would rather die on my feet then live on my knees!!!
