10th amendment protection for states

[JimJones]

In May I wrote a blog called Obama Challenges the 2nd Amendment and reported that the state of Montana was invoking the 10th amendment to protect their rights, as state to bare arms as they see fit. Texas is also working on passing the same legislation.

It was just reported today via Fox News, an Interview with Bill Hemmer and Nancy Barto, which chairs Arizona’s Health and Human Services Committee, that the state of Arizona wants a state constitutional amendment that will allow their citizens’ to opt-out of any federal mandate tied to healthcare.

Like Montana, the government of Arizona is sighting the 10th amendment. Hemmer, reported that there are 5 other states moving in this direction, IN. MN. ND WY NM.

Barto told Bill Hemmer that the government “can’t compete and regulate at the same time.” This is a very true statement, as the government can change the rules as they see fit. This type of unwanted competition in our healthcare will make an uneven playing field for the insurance companies.

Obama keeps talking about having another option, but there are already thousands of health insurance companies already out there. Why does one more make a difference? It really makes no difference what so ever based on competition. However, if the government comes in and has its price points to low, this will do two things. It will force the insurance companies to lower their prices where they might not be able to compete and employers’ will move their insurance coverage under the much cheaper government plan. This will make it hard for the insurance companies to stay in business. If this happens, where’s our private healthcare plan’s that Obama keeps saying that we can keep? For most of us it’s not up to us, it’s up to our employers’. If they move to the government plan so do all their employees. Of course, you can always change jobs! That’s if anyone is hiring.

We need insurance reform not healthcare reform!

I personally applaud those states that are finally standing up and asserting their Constitutionally given rights! For too damned long states have simply let the Fed's walk all over them without so much as a peep while the right of the States, and their citizens, have been whittled away at incessantly.

It's time for States to finally say "Stop."

But what we are beginning to see is that employers want a change. They can no longer afford to provide the mandated health coverage and stay competetive in the global market. This is what killed the car companies, but that won't be the end. Soon it will hit every sector of business, and those companies will be moving operations overseas as much as possible. We have created the most unfriendly business environment in the world by forcing employers to pay for employees healthcare.

So why does Nevada forgo federal tax money in favor of legal gambling then? Couldn't they just assert a 10th amendment claim? I'm truthfully asking by the way, i don't know why....

I don't think they're calling for a "new" insurance company to be formed. Existing companies would bid for the government contract. Or, according to one of the other plans being considered, a variety of insurance companies would be involved in offering rates and coverage to a "pool" of people who would be choosing the same plan coverage at different levels depending on what the pool can afford.

Since when has health insurance or health care for that matter became a "right"? Although I admit that it would be nice to have "free healthcare" the truth is that nothing in life is free... and the greatest cost of "free healthcare" would be our personal liberties.

Which would basically raise the costs even more ...
