Haley Barbour:
“Governor Haley Barbour today requested Attorney General Jim Hood challenge the constitutionality of the healthcare reform legislation approved by the U.S. Congress.
The bill has serious constitutional problems, Governor Barbour said, starting with the fact that it forces individuals to purchase health insurance.
“A physician’s creed is to ‘First, Do No Harm,’” Governor Barbour said. “The healthcare legislation passed Sunday infects the economy with harmful tax increases, strips benefits from senior citizens and robs each citizen of their basic freedom to choose their own healthcare.”
Governor Barbour requested an answer from the Attorney General by noon Thursday, March 25. If Hood refuses to file suit to protect the interests of Mississippians, Governor Barbour said he intends to file the lawsuit.
“This costly unfunded mandate could not have come at a worse time for our state’s economy,” he said. “Mississippi continues to see declining monthly revenue collections, and we have been forced to cut priority areas like education and public safety.
Under the plan, 15 million people would be moved to the federal-state Medicaid program, which already strains our state budget every year. Once the temporary funding is gone, we can expect taxes to spike by hundreds of millions of dollars for Mississippians who will have to pay for this expanded program.”
The resulting higher taxes will hurt struggling families and businesses who are trying to stay afloat in this recession. In addition, businesses that must pay more for health insurance costs will not have anything left to create new jobs.
Working families with private insurance will not be able to keep the coverage they have. Instead, those families will be paying more from their pockets for healthcare.
“The federal government is clearly overreaching its authority by forcing Mississippians and all Americans to buy a product simply because he or she is alive,” Governor Barbour said.
Obamacare harms senior citizens by causing changes to Medicare coverage. President Obama’s own Department of Health and Human Services says the plan will cause insurance premiums to skyrocket and force $500 billion in cuts to the Medicare program for senior citizens.”
Go, Haley!!
Pelosi and Reid are toast (if you believe polls), and the Dems truly have a tiger by the tail. WE THE PEOPLE are that tiger, heh heh. The Dems have bought themselves some 'interesting times.'
