Pa. House Republicans Announce Bills Rejecting Federal Health Mandates
Posted by | Posted in Family Health | Posted on 01-09-2010
joining several states across the nation, Republicans in the Pennsylvania House held a rally Jan. 27 to introduce a pair of bills aimed at opposing possible federal health mandates.
House Bill 2053, dubbed the Health Care Freedom Act, was introduced by Rep. Matt Baker (R-Bradford/Tioga) and would preserve individual rights to not take part in a government-run health care program, citing preservation of the patient-doctor relationship.
Whether a public option will be a part of a single piece of Congressional health reform legislation is still up for debate, but many think the endeavor will fail due to lack of support.
In a statement, Baker said that health insurance controlled by the government, “means that we will have less freedom to make the health care choices that are best for us and our families.
“My legislation will protect our right to pay directly for medical service and prohibit any individual from being penalized for not purchasing federally sanctioned health insurance,” said Baker, Republican chairman of the House Health and Human Service Committee. “A government requirement to purchase health insurance is ineffective, costly and arguably an unconstitutional infringement upon states’ rights.”
Rep. Curt Schroder (R-Chester County) also introduced House Bill 2179, a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the state’s constitution protecting a citizen’s right to chose their own health care and purchase coverage from the company of their choosing.
The bill also rejects any law that would “penalize a person, employer or health care provider for declining to participate in a health care system.”
Schroder said his bill “recognizes the importance of health care” while also protecting Pennsylvania residents “from a massive government intrusion.
“By amending our state constitution, as proposed in House Bill 2179, we get the hand of the federal government out of our pockets and ensure the right of all Pennsylvanians to make their own health care decisions,” he said.
At the rally, Rep. Stan Saylor (R-York) said that state governments “have a deep understanding of the health care problems their residents face.
“Any health care legislation coming from the federal government should recognize that states can craft innovative, effective solutions to their own health care problems without intervention from Washington,” he said.
Both bills are before the House Insurance Committee and are part of the House Republican Policy Committee’s Health Care Task Force.

Where to Find Affordable Family Health Care Insurance?Recently I was looking on google for affordable health care insurance, but I can't make my decision which site to choose.There are so many sites.Please suggest me one.
First, you're asking for spam links – and none of those will help you.
Second, if anyone already NEEDS the surgery, it's too late to buy insurance to cover that now. It's now a "preexisting condition", and you'll have to pay for it out of pocket.
Third, to purchase insurance when you've got so many choices to look at it makes your head spin, you probably need to talk to a local broker or agent. You can find one at http://www.iiaba.net . . . they will help you balance coverage and cost to find a plan you can afford. But it still won't cover preexisting conditions.
Individual and family health insurance is a type of health insurance coverage that is made available to individuals and families, rather than to employer groups or organizations. Given the option, most people would prefer to have their employer provide group health insurance coverage. But, if this is not an option for you, it is still important for you to seek coverage. You may be pleasantly surprised with the variety and affordability of the individual and family health insurance options available.

I know I don’t want to live in a One World Government. I looked into some the articles that Alex Jone spoke about and its true. what were hearing is all true. like Alex said, if they were a country to move to do get away from it all, I’ll go too. but there’s no where to go. these criminals are everywhere. they want to own the planet.. we need to start taking these matter into consideration. if not, were all going to be seating back and enjoying a the ride to a new prison planet.
YOu are not the only person who have ever met this kind of problem,I met this type of problem before.I have good experience here

If you will go to http://www.geha.com it will lead you through a bunch of steps to get to the 2010 rates. Look for the purple line "GEHA's 2010 rates and benefits" on that first page. My mom had GEHA and it was very good. Excellent service.
Not going to make any difference. That small group is going to be individually underwritten, just as if it were a private policy.
@frickadele Of course France is a 3rd world country. That is why there was a break down in sanitation and public order and you slaves live in poverty.
Search your State Government's website. Look for the page of the Insurance Commissioner.
That site should list all companies legally permitted to offer coverage in your state.
Or you could contact a local doctor's office and ask them for a list of companies that they allow.
Remember not every doctor accepts all insurance policies. In some areas one company is better then another.
Alex is partially right. He is a joke. He is a community college dropout nutjob.
I can't imagine it's going to be cheaper on your own.
You need to go to a local, independent agent, and ask for quotes. They'll have the ones with providers in your area.
If you have no preexisting conditions, and you're around 30, it's GOING to cost YOU, $250 a month, your HUSBAND $250 a month, and the KIDS, $200 a month EACH. Is that cheaper than your husband's plan?
If you have preexisting conditions, they will be excluded, OR, you might flat out be declined.
that's JUST what health insurance costs. Or, you sacrifice coverage, OR, you take a $5,000 deductible before the insurance kids in, OR, you sign up for a health discount plan where no one takes the plans, OR you get scammed from over the internet.
You CAN'T buy a brand new cadillac for $10, you CAN'T get family health insurance with comprehensive coverage for $120 a month, except through an employer.
@hackit1234 Your point that you area coward harassing your betters in a fake world.
