Help Pass the Alabama Health Care Freedom Act: Sign the Coalition Letter!
24/03/10 23:22
Conservative activists in Alabama have been working very hard to pass the Alabama Health Care Freedom Act. Several versions of the bill have been introduced, but they all say essentially the same thing. We need one of those bills to pass.
SB 233, sponsored by Sen. Scott Beason, is the farthest along in the process. It has come out of committee and now awaits a floor vote. Senator Lowell Barron has been the obstruction to getting the bill on the floor. The House bills, sponsored by Reps. Bentley, Gipson, and Galliher/Ward, have not even been voted on in committee.
Members from several conservative organizations around the state have worked together to craft a coalition letter expressing our support for the Alabama Health Care Freedom Act, legislation which opposes the federal government's recent move to mandate health insurance coverage for all individuals.
The basic line is that Alabama won't allow (by constitutional amendment) for the federal government to dictate which doctors we can see, which insurance plans we like, and that the federal government can't determine the relationship we have with our doctors.
We will be conducting a news conference early next week to publicize the organizations, candidates and individuals supporting this legislation. The time of the conference will be announced as soon as we have the details confirmed.
We are requesting that we get as many organizations, candidates and individuals sign on to the coalition letter as possible before the news conference. The text of the letter, as well as an online signup form, is available on the Internet here: Alabama Health Care Freedom Coalition Letter
Thank you for your assistance in stopping ObamaCare at the Alabama state line!
