PROTECT YOUR HEALTH CARE CHOICES

Posted on February 28, 2010 by

The battle to protect ourselves from government-run health care continues. Here in Virginia, that battle centers on HB 10, the Health Care Freedom Act. Here is the latest update from Delegate Bob Marshall.  He needs your help.

Protect Your Health Care Choices, HB 10 Update

HB 10, which guarantees your right to choose the Health Care plan you want or to avoid a federal requirement that you purchase health insurance offered by the Obama Administration, will be before the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee this coming Monday, March 1.

HB 10 provides that:

“No law shall restrict an individual’s natural right and power of contract liberty to choose private health care systems or private plans. No law shall interfere with the right of an individual to pay for lawful medical services to preserve life or health, nor shall any law impose a penalty, tax, fee, or fine, of any type, on an individual who chooses to decline to contract for health care coverage or to participate in any particular health care system or plan, except as required by a court where an individual is a named party in a judicial dispute. Nothing herein shall be construed to expand, limit or otherwise modify any determination of law regarding what constitutes lawful medical services within the Commonwealth. The provisions of this act shall not apply to an individual who seeks voluntary coverage under a state-administered program pursuant to Title XIX or Title XXI of the Social Security Act.”

Please contact these Senate Commerce & Labor Committee members listed below to support HB 10 by Monday, March 1.
