South Carolina Freedom of Health Care Protection Act Declares Obamacare Unconstitutional and invalid in South Carolina
A proposed bill sponsored by Rep. William Chumley of Spartanburg County, and designed to block Obamacare in South Carolina, will be pre-filed in Columbia before the end of the year.
The South Carolina Freedom of Health Care Protection Act declares the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, passed by a lame duck Democrat Congress and signed into law by President Obama, to be unconstitutional, invalid and shall be considered null and void in this state.
The description of the act reads as follows:
An Act to render null and void certain unconstitutional laws enacted by the Congress of the United States taking control over the health insurance industry and mandating that individuals purchase health insurance under threat of penalty.
Rep. Chumley discussed the proposed new law at the November meeting of RINO Hunt. During the discussion, it was noted that there are examples of Nullification being used by various states going back for more than a century. The most recent are states legalizing marijuana and homosexual marriage prohibited by federal law. Sanctuary Cities for illegal aliens is another example.
Rep. Chumley said he plans to pre-file the bill before the end of the year. He is currently seeking co-sponsors of the bill. The bill is also being introduced in the Senate.

“I was the rube in the game”
Pretty soon or maybe now anyone who ever pays their own way will be a tube. Savershave long been victimized. Look at people who bought insurance, especially on their own, and laud in for decades. Suckers! Think of people who don’t take money when unemployed. Losers. Think of those who paid their mortgages or credit card bills or student loans. Idiots.
Serious query, with no hidden sarcasm et cetera: What would we do, how would we proceed, where would we start? Your hypothesis sounds daunting to me, but then it's far afield from my knowledge and experience. Also, it would seem that some entrepreneurs (and they still exist) would already be proceeding to do just what you suggest. Don't mistake my query for opposition or criticism. Your idea is intriguing but daunting.
By the way, after reading this thread, I see a mix of idealism and pragmatism crossing figurative swords here and there. Am sympathetic to both isms, being alternately afflicted with both, sometimes at the same time. Being afflicted by both isms sometimes seems worse than tending towards just one. :-(
A large chunk of change for Medicare is being shifted to the states as well.
