The states have the power to stop the criminal healthcare bill - Part II

State Representatives ask State Attorney General to intervene in federal healthcare legislation:


Attorney General Robert E. Cooper, Jr.
P.O. Box 20207
Nashville, TN 37202-0207

Dear General Cooper,

This letter is to formally request that you prepare to take the appropriate legal action against the federal government in the event HR 3200 passes into law. We request this action in order to grant Tennessee relief from the unfunded mandate contained in the bill requiring Tennessee to comply with the expansion of the federal Medicaid program.

Under this bill, Tennessee would be forced to expand our Medicaid program, potentially costing the citizens of this state $1.4 billion dollars in additional state taxpayer funds annually. Such an increase would place a great burden on the citizens of this state. It is clear by the wording of the legislation itself that not every state would face a similar and equal burden.

We see this as a violation of equal protection of the law, an affront to our sovereignty, and a breach of the U.S. Constitution.

The passage of this bill is imminent, and as Governor Bredesen has noted, "We can't print money." This bill would expand the program beyond the fiscal capacity of this state.

Thank you for your timely attention of this matter.

Most sincerely,

Susan Lynn
State Representative
District 57

Debra Young Maggart
State Representative
District 45

Lawmakers File "Freedom of Healthcare Choice Act"

OKLAHOMA CITY - The voters of Oklahoma will have the opportunity to preserve
the existing health care system in Oklahoma under legislation sought by
three state legislators.

State Reps. Mike Ritze and Mike Reynolds and state Sen. Randy Brogdon
announced today that they will file legislation enacting the "Freedom of
Healthcare Choice Act," allowing voters to preserve the existing healthcare
system in Oklahoma regardless of congressional action at the federal level.

The legislation will allow a vote of the people to opt out of the proposed
federal system.
"It's clear the overwhelming majority of Americans want the current
doctor-patient relationship preserved instead of having Washington
bureaucrats dictate medical decisions," said Ritze, a Broken Arrow
Republican who is also a board-certified family practice physician and
surgeon. "The proposals under consideration in Congress are likely to result
in reduced access to a family doctor, rationing of services, or even
outright denial of care if a pencil-pusher decides it is not a 'best
practice.' My legislation would give the voters the ability to protect and
preserve their existing health care coverage."

"The United States' health care system is the envy of the world and the
people of Oklahoma should have the opportunity to maintain the top-notch
care they have received while also avoiding the onerous burdens the proposed
federal law would impose on working families," said Reynolds, R-Oklahoma
City.
"The proposed legislation in Washington is a massive overstepping of the
bounds placed on Congress by our U.S. Constitution," said Brogdon, R-Owasso.
"It is time that we the people tell Congress enough is enough - and now
Oklahomans will have the opportunity to do so."

Modeled on an Arizona proposal, Ritze and Reynolds' legislation would place
language on the ballot to amend the Oklahoma Constitution to declare what
types of health care systems could lawfully exist in the state.

The proposed constitutional amendment would:

* Prohibit any law or rule from directly or indirectly compelling any person
or employer to participate in any health care system;
* Allow any person or employer to pay directly for lawful health care
services without paying any penalties or fines;
* Permit a health care provider to provide directly purchased lawful health
services without paying any penalties or fines; and
* Stipulate that subject to reasonable and necessary rules that do not
substantially limit a person's options, the purchase or sale of private
health insurance will not be prohibited.

The amendment would not change what health care services a provider is
required to perform or what health care services are permitted by law.

"This is an issue that could have serious consequences for all citizens and
it is only right to allow voters a direct role in the outcome of this
debate," Ritze said.

"I was not surprised that the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate kept the
specific language of their bill from the public and most of their members,"
Reynolds said. "In comparison, the language of our "Freedom of Healthcare
Choice Act" will be fully disclosed as soon as it is filed, probably later
this afternoon. We welcome any discussion."

President Obama's Secret: Only 100 al Qaeda Now in Afghanistan
ABC News

"A senior U.S. intelligence official told ABCNews.com the approximate estimate of 100 al Qaeda members left in Afghanistan reflects the conclusion of American intelligence agencies and the Defense Department.

"With 100,000 troops in Afghanistan at an estimated yearly cost of $30 billion, it means that for every one al Qaeda fighter, the U.S. will commit 1,000 troops and $300 million a year.

"At a Senate hearing, the former CIA Pakistan station chief, Bob Grenier, testified al Qaeda had already been defeated in Afghanistan.

'So in terms of 'in Afghanistan,' asked Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., 'they have been disrupted and dismantled and defeated. They're not in Afghanistan, correct?'

'That's true,' replied Grenier."
