As it becomes increasingly
apparent that ObamaCare is going to be even more of a nightmare than most
people imagined, a certain dread has set in. It’s like this giant tsunami wave
is coming toward us and we’re like deer caught in headlights…there seems to be
absolutely nothing we can do to escape it.
But maybe, just maybe,
there is, especially if you live in a red state. The South Carolina House of
Representatives recently passed the “South Carolina Freedom of Health Care
Protection Act” by a 65-34 vote, and now it’s on to the Republican-controlled
South Carolina Senate. (That may be the first time I’ve ever used “South
Carolina” three times in one sentence.)
The bill, if passed by the
Senate, would then need the signature of South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley to
become law. The essence of this bill is that it would for all practical
purposes nullify ObamaCare within South Carolina. The bill prohibits agencies,
officers and employees of the state from implementing any provisions of the
Affordable Care Act, leaving that potential implementation in the hands of a
federal government which lacks the resources and personnel to carry out the
programs it mandates, according to the Daily Caller.
The sponsor of the bill,
Senator Tom Davis, said that Congress can pass laws, but can’t compel states to
utilize their treasury or personnel to implement those federal laws. Two
additional provisions to the bill that are being considered are outlawing
Medicaid expansion and suspending the licenses of insurers who receive
Affordable Care Act subsidies.
If South Carolina passes
this bill and the end result is the nullification of ObamaCare in that state,
other states are sure to follow. Legislators from Tennessee and Oklahoma are
reportedly working on similar bills and awaiting the South Carolina results.
Do you think this South
Carolina model could be the answer for people and businesses desperately trying
to avoid the train wreck that ObamaCare is rapidly becoming? If South Carolina
is successful, what do you think are the odds of your state following suit?
