The U.S. Supreme Court's recent
decision prevents the federal government from forcing states to
implement Obamacare's Medicaid expansion by withholding all Medicaid
funding from any State that refused to do so.
And if a State simply refuses to accept
federal mandates (and the associated "bribe" money) to
implement ObamaCare health exchanges, then the entire law falls
flat on its face.
That's good news, right? You'd think
this would be a no-brainer for "conservative" Georgia politicians
like Governor Nathan Deal.
Our Republican governor has been very
vocal in his opposition to Obamacare.
And he has routinely claimed to be
fiscally conservative, too. So it should be a done deal that Obamacare
will not be implemented in GA.
Then why am I writing you about it?
Well, it appears that Governor Nathan
Deal is going to wait until just after the federal elections on
November 6th to spring Obamacare health exchanges on
Georgians.
You read that correctly. Governor Deal
has a long history of supporting Obamacare and other federal mandates, if you
look at his actual record.
In March of 2011, Republican State
Representatives Richard Smith (Columbus) and John Meadows (Calhoun)
introduced H.B. 476 with the support of Governor Deal.
H.B. 476 would have created a Georgia
Health Exchange Authority "in accordance with federal
law." That federal law, Obamacare, would have dictated that the exchange
be operated by rules and regulations promulgated by the federal
Secretary of Health and
Human Services.
After intense pressure from grassroots
activists like you, Governor Deal was forced to withdraw
H.B. 476 from consideration.
Later that year, in June of 2011,
Governor Deal established the Georgia Health Insurance Exchange
Advisory Committee. In the press release announcing the committee,
Governor Deal is quoted as saying that he hoped "this
committee will construct the appropriate avenues for our state to
implement our own exchange, based on delivering free market
solutions for increasing the access and affordability of health
insurance." And there is the rub.
These exchanges, by their very
definition, stifle the free market. A government-mandated exchange
would pick and choose which companies would be allowed to
sell insurance and which companies would be excluded.
Further, any exchange, whether created
by the state or the federal government, would be completely
controlled by rules and regulations promulgated by the federal
government under Obamacare. And Georgians would foot the
bill!
Finally, nowhere in his executive order
will you find Governor Deal asking the commission for
recommendations on how to actually resist Obamacare. In fact, his
executive order calls for the creation of one or more government-run
Obamacare exchanges!
Shortly after the Supreme Court's
ruling this past June, Deal revealed his plan to implement
Obamacare exchanges just after the November 6th elections, when most
voters will be distracted with the outcome of the Presidential race.
And on August 28th of this year, Deal
had the audacity to repeat his scheme at the Republican National
Convention in Tampa. So much for the conservatism of the
Republican party!
Time and time again the Governor has
attempted to sneak his Obamacare plans in 'under the radar'
all while using the language of free market economics to mask his
true intentions.
Governor Deal must think we are easily
fooled! This MUST BE stopped! So, what can you do?
Contact Governor Nathan
Deal today and demand that he refuse all federal "bribe"
money and mandates to implement Obamacare health exchanges in Georgia!
Remind the Governor that he works for
you and not the health care lobby or the federal government!
Make it clear that you will be watching
his actions and that you will hold him accountable should he
implement his Obamacare health exchange scheme.
Tell him that you won't be convinced to
expand government programs by clever marketing schemes
that abuse the language of free market economics.
Tell him that it is immoral and wrong
to use propaganda in order to fleece people.
Put a stop to the implementation of
Obamacare in Georgia immediately!
CLICK HERE to contact Governor Deal
today! Tell him "no Obamacare exchanges in Georgia."
