Repeal the ObamaCare Precursor NOW!

Obamacare

 

Statement by Anne Fox, President of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, about the Initiative Petition to repeal the individual mandate in the universal health care law in Massachusetts.

 

Today, as a group of extremely concerned citizens, from a variety of walks of life, wewill file the necessary paperwork with the Attorney General's office to give the voters of Massachusetts the chance to repeal the most onerous portion of the state’s universal health care law. -- the individual mandate.

 

Further, we hope to have a conversation with the voters of Massachusetts about the real impact of the universal healthcare law and what it portends for the future of our citizens.

 

We know from talking to people across the state that there is a large coalition of voters representing a wide variety of viewpoints who oppose the individual mandate. 

 

Today we are launching a massive campaign to gather the signatures necessary to place this question on the ballot.  We will also be launching a website: www.repeal-romneycare.com in the very near future to keep the public informed about our progress and to give groups the resources they need to help with this very important effort.

 

We want quality, affordable, and ethical health care for all.  We are deeply concerned with information which has been published in the past two years which shows that the state health plan is running out of money and assumes that rationing is the solution.  We in Massachusetts already have the highest premiums and the longest waits for doctors in the country and thingsare getting worse.

 

We at Massachusetts Citizens for Life have worked very hard over the past two years to prevent and then defeat Obamacare.  Once Obamacare is overturned, the rest of the country will be fine but we in Massachusetts will still have to live under its prototype.  Repealing the individual mandate is a start toward better health care in Massachusetts.

Obamacare - More Cheating at the Highest Level

MCFL: Obamacare - more cheating at the highest level?

by: MCFL Press Release

Thu Dec 16, 2010 at 12:29:33 PM EST

Nearly everyone expects Judge Hudson's ruling that the individual mandate in Obamacare is unconstitutional will be appealed to the Supreme Court.

"Everyone" also agrees that Justice Elena Kagan, having served in the Obama Justice Department, will recuse herself.  If so, even if Justice Kennedy votes to uphold the individual mandate, the vote would be 4-4.  If there is a tie, Judge Hudson's ruling stands.

Everyone is assuming fair play just as everyone did when Obamacare was supposed to go to Conference Committee and then come out for a legitimate vote, which would have allowed Sen. Brown's vote to kill it.

Kagan has recused herself on a number of cases.  When she was nominated, however, there was much talk among her supporters that she would be a sure vote on Obamacare.  If she planned to recuse herself, Obama would not have nominated her.  It is quite likely that Kagan has no intention of recusing herself on Obamacare.

The only thing that will ensure that Kagan behaves properly is a huge public outcry.  I know writing a Letter to the Editor is not an easy thing to do, but Kagan does not belong in Obamacare decisions and we must make sure she recuses herself.  Please write to your daily and weekly papers.  All you have to say is that the ruling will go to the Supreme Court where Justice Kagan, having served in the Obama Justice Department, must recuse herself.  If it doesn't get printed, call to remind them you are waiting to see it.

Your letter will have a real impact!  I'd love to see a copy.  Hey, it is good to be pro-active!  Anne
