Rep. Christian Files Legislation to Prevent Enforcement of Obamacare in Texas

width=71Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas  Today State Representative Wayne Christian filed a House Joint Resolution (HJR) to protect Texans from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act otherwise known as Obamacare.  The federal court recognized serious issues with the health care law and further stated all States have the right to challenge the health care law.   If passed HJR 51 will then go to the voters of Texas for approval in the November 2011 general election to amend the Texas Constitution and effectively prevent Texans from  having to purchase government-approved health insurance under the threat of penalty.   Constituents have repeatedly expressed their concerns and Rep. Christian has worked tirelessly to ensure that health care rights of Texans are protected.   I have made this resolution my top legislative priority.  It is unconstitutional for the federal government to impose a federal health care law which forces Americans to buy a specific health care plan stated Rep. Christian.   Obamacare infringes upon individual rights and patient choice reduces medical research and will further lead our country into more debt.  A law or rule must not compel- directly or indirectly- any person employer or heath care provider to purchase a service under the threat of penalty or sanction by the federal government.  Obamacare undermines the peoples rights and the foundation upon which America was built.   Rep. Christians resolution addresses health care freedom in numerous ways.  Texans right to choose a health care system and to control their health care plan will be protected.   Additionally residents will be able to pay directly for health care services.  This will prevent any penalties or fines from being imposed which will further protect the right of citizens to spend their money as they please.   Rep. Christian stated If passed HJR 51 will support Texas Attorney General Greg Abbotts lawsuit against Obamacare on behalf of Texas.  As the legislative session begins it is crucial we continue working together to terminate this unconstitutional mandate of the federal government.   Contact Representative Christian If you have questions or comments about your state government please feel free to contact my office.
