Hello Everyone,
I think it is great that states take actions like this. This kind of action, which I believe is legit under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, nullifies certain acts that states do not believe should be legal in their own state. Bravo for Missouri, and may others follow in kind!
BTW, I have written numerous letters and/or online emails to both my US Senators and my US Congressman on my objections to this crazy health care plan(s) they are trying to give us against our will. Both of the senators respond weeks after they get my objections as a rule and the replies are generally nonsense and have not yet answered any direct questions I have asked. The Congressman has not answered at all in any form. And I always give a complete address and email in all cases. Today I followed up with a fax to my Congressman. We shall see how that goes.
When those elected to represent us at any level consistently fail to respond, or else respond with non-answers to simple questions, they no longer represent us. When these same officials do not even have the courtesy to reply at all, then they are just self-centered oafs that think they don’t even need to answer to us. When they yet know most of us OBJECT on any issue and go on with it anyhow, the best I can say about them is that they are dirty rotten scoundrels and thieves, and Perdition is the name of the only road they will ever find.
We are in this mess as a nation because too many have forgotten God and placed an idol called government in His place. Our cries became “Government give me,” and “Government take care of me.”
May God truly be merciful to us all for letting things go so far!
Godspeed,
Gill Rapoza

Missouri House Passes Health Care Freedom Act
Written by: Michael Boldin
05. Mar, 2010
The Missouri State House has passed House Joint Resolution 48 (HJR48). The legislation, known as the “Missouri Health Care Freedom Act” seeks to make public policy for the state that every person within the state of Missouri is and shall be free to choose or decline to choose any mode of securing health care services without penalty or threat of penalty by the federal government of the United States of America.
Here’s the official summary of the bill:
Upon voter approval, this proposed constitutional amendment prohibits any person, employer, or health care provider from being compelled to participate in any health care system. Individuals and employers may pay directly for lawful health care services without being subject to fines or penalties, and health care providers can accept payment for health care services from individuals or employers without being subject to fines or penalties. The purchase or sale of health care insurance in private health care systems cannot be prohibited by law or rule.
The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution codifies in law that the federal government is one of limited, delegated powers – and that all powers not enumerated in the Constitution are reserve “to the States, respectively, or to the People.”
The founders, during the time of the Constitution’s ratification, made clear that a vast majority of regulatory powers would be left in the states – including social services, agriculture, mining, and more. Click here to read more.
The resolution passed by a vote of 113-40, and is awaiting transmittal to the State Senate.
In an update to supporters, the resolution’s primary sponsor, State Rep. Jane Cunningham, pledged to see the effort through:
“I sincerely appreciate all those who have come out and shown their support, and all those who have shown an interest in the issue. Each of you has my word that I will fight tirelessly until our constitutional rights in Missouri are fully protected from federal encroachment.”
