Oklahoma, Georgia Send Health Care Freedom Act to Governor's Desk - Yahoo! News
Momentum Against ObamaCare Continues to Grow in the States
WASHINGTON, May 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Yesterday, the Republican-controlled Oklahoma legislature sent House Joint Resolution 1054, the Freedom of Healthcare Choice Act, to Democrat Governor Brad Henry's desk. The statutory measure—which prohibits a federal requirement to purchase health insurance and allows the legislature to hire outside counsel in a lawsuit against federal health reform—was also supported by nine Oklahoma House Democrats. And last week, Georgia's legislature sent similar legislation, Senate Bill 411, to the governor's desk. Both measures are modeled after the American Legislative Exchange Council's (ALEC) Freedom of Choice in Health Care Act now introduced or announced in 42 states.
