South Carolina legislators are looking to eliminate Obamacare in their state under State House bill H 3101, the Daily Caller reported on Monday.

The bill is titled the “South Carolina Freedom of Health Care Protection Act,” and was passed the state House of Representatives last April by a 65-34 vote.

The Daily Caller reported that the bill now heads to the South Carolina State Senate that is controlled by Republicans, is setting up the likelihood that South Carolina will become the first state to exempt citizens and businesses from all participation in the Affordable Care Act.

> Won’t be long and the odumbo crowd will pass a law against all states rights. Nothing would surprise me that comes from that den of thieves.

You can see it coming. They need to dethrone him before he makes that move and tries to strip the 22nd amendment so he can serve more terms. I’m sure he already has the electronic vortng machines rigged and ready to go.

Excellent idea but won’t the insurance companies (who also do business in other states) be fined by the feds for not cancelling policies that don’t meet the supposed higher federal standard?

If this truly gains steam, and they can fend off Lear-Deader and Heric Eolder and Bysillus, they are gonna have import or train a gaggle of real estate agents as a big chuck of freeper-dom and liberty minded individuals everywhere decide to move in mass....

Even more so if they have Natural Gas via Shale Formations under their feet. I know North Carolina has it, but I haven't heard about South Carolina....

The Federal "card check" legislation was largely an attempt to pave the way for the unionization of two major U.S. companies: FedEx and Wal-Mart. It was the single biggest reason why labor unions spent so much money on Federal campaigns in the 2006 and 2008 election cycles.

FedEx had signed a contract with Boeing to buy two or three dozen new cargo aircraft, which were to be constructed and delivered over the course of several years. The contract contained a provision that allowed FedEx to back out of the deal up to a certain date.

Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, where Boeing is headquartered and where the aircraft would be built, is a ranking member of the Senate committee that drew up the Senate version of the "card check" legislation.

As the legislation was being crafted, the CEO of FedEx made the details of the Boeing contract public, and made it very clear in various media outlets that FedEx would opt out of the Boeing contract and cancel the order for all those new aircraft if the Senate version of that "card check" bill ever saw the light of day. So Murray was put in a position where she could sponsor a Senate bill to benefit organized labor across the country, or she could protect thousands of Boing jobs (union jobs) in her own state. That "card check" bill has now been buried in Murray's Senate committee for five years, and it ain't going anywhere.
