PA Healthcare Freedom Amendment passes Banking & Insurance committee.

March 8, 2012 - The PA Senate Banking and Insurance committee passed Senate Bill 10, the Healthcare Freedom Amendment. This bill will amend the PA Constitution to prevent the any government from requiring citizens to buy certain types of insurance and also prevent governments from penalizing citizens for not buying that insurance. This is in direct response to Obamacare. The Bill passed the committee on a 9 to 5 vote. This bill is sponsored by Senator Joe Scarnati.

What is next for PA Senate Bill 10? It will be considered by the full PA Senate. Currently the PA Senate has 30 Republicans and 20 Democrats, so there should be at least 30 pro-freedom Senators. Please contact your PA Senator and urge the to vote YES on Senate Bill 10, also known as the Healthcare Freedom Amendment. Don't know who your State Senator is?
