From a press release Maloney issued:
"I saw nothing in the health care bill that addresses access to insurance purchasing across state lines or tort reform. States will be forced to spend millions of dollars to defend their own state constitutional rights." Corbett is discussing legal strategy with attorneys general from ten other states (Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Michigan, Texas, Utah, Washington, North Dakota and South Dakota and Virginia).For more on Mononey's campaign, visit his Web site.
Maloney said "I believe and I hope the courts will find the health care reform legislation unconstitutional. I also support PA House Bill 2179, sponsored by Rep. Curt Schroder (R-Chester/Delaware), which would enable Pennsylvania citizens to reject federally mandated health care and maintain control of their health care choices."
Schroder's bill proposes to amend Pennsylvania's constitution, enabling citizens to reaffirm their right to make their own health care decisions by putting the question to the voters at the polls. HB 2179 would stop the federal government’s proposed takeover of health care at Pennsylvania's borders and it would prevent a similar government takeover of health care at the state level, such as the single-payer system that has been introduced in the Pennsylvania House.
Maloney said "House Bill 2179 would protect the freedoms and liberties of Pennsylvania residents from massive federal government intrusion by putting health care decisions back in the hands of the citizens. HB2179 would do this by amending our state constitution, effectively removing the hand of the federal government from our pockets and ensuring the rights of Pennsylvanians to choose their health care plans and providers. We the people are the last line of defense against massive government intrusions to take over health care."
HB 2179 is pending in the House Insurance Committee.
