Health Care Nullification Legislation

A reading of the Constitution through the original understanding of the Founders and Ratifiers makes it quite clear that any national health care plan, or national public option, is not something that was delegated by the People to the Federal Government in the Constitution.

However, the courts, politicians and many commentators have interpreted (and re-interpreted) the Commerce Clause, the general Welfare Clause and Necessary and Proper Clause in ways not intended by the Founders so as to justify such programs under the Constitution. They are most certainly wrong. A number of states are considering legislation to effectively nullify any future national health care plan.

Legend: Blue – Introduced. Yellow – Passed one or more houses. Green – Passed as Law.

  1. We need help from the 912 movement and the Tea Parties to push the nullification legislation through the State legislatures.

    • Why is there not more attention being paid to this nullification issue? Tea Party group I belong to in North Texas recently put out group mailing with link to Texas State web site for Texans to sign a petition requesting a special session to consider nullification. Unless people are aware, nothing will be done.

  2. I believe that the 912 and Tea Party movements absolutely will have to get on board of the state sovereignty movement, or be relegated to obscurity….we'll see, of course, but that's my thoughts on it in the long-term.

    • At the end of the day We are a tool, a means to an end, nothing more. we must remember that. It is the 912 and Tea Party Movement that will uses us to advance their cause, which is really the same as our cause.

      We are simply trying to set up the pathway for them and ourselves.

      • I have been posting links to the 10th Amendment Center on other 912 sites because many over there are very interested in nullifaction and returning to a limited central government and strong state governments. Hopefully we can all work toward the same goals.

  3. Where are all the rest of the states on this? Are they that indoctrinated into believing that government control is good for us, or are they too scared to go up against this "Chicago Mafia-style Organization?" According to the map, six states are either stalling on this, or worse – waiting to see if the health care bill is passed in the Senate and signed into law. If the latter is true, I wonder if it will be too late to put a stop to it.

    • MissDiane – they’re out there! Just getting things underway. We expect to see 15-20 states at minimum work along these lines in 2010. Hope to hear more from you too in the near future!

  4. Another attack by the English branch of the Rothchilds to try to capitalize on the Americans as a whole. See history of the bank of the United states 1 and 2 where Hamilton sets up in colonial America that bankrupt us so we had to war against England again in 1812. Jackson finnal over came him. During the Civil war Lincoln needed more Capital to continue to have his Civil war. He went to NYC where friends of rothchild tryed to give america an offer of 25% -35% interest Lincoln knew it was ol' Rothchild again tring to enslave America with control of the financial system. Amazingly Russia steped up to protect the USA from an attack by English and French who by this time had been schemed by Rothchild and were in full control by inflation and contractions of the economy.Lincoln printed green backs that were in effect debt free money. money to be used without having to be taxed to use it. that was the final straw Lincoln had to go so he was murdered. By an agent of the South that wanted a Rothchild bank set up in the south . Remember the boulchivic's? they were killed for their families help with Lincoln the last of Russia's After Lincoln James Garfield was again murdered for stopping another attempt to have a central bank in America. Not amazed by Americas prosperity after 40 years of peace and prosperity and a steady gain of 3% in GDP without a central bank in control. Rothchild rockerfeller and warberg got their central bank in december 24 1913. All hail the Federal reserve. Nowe after they stole the gold (real wealth) traded it for reciepts backed by gold. Then a violation of the coinage act in 1971 by Nixson and the bankers to loot fort knox and give back Tungston coated gold bars to america in exchange for 40 years of inflation. Dose not America know what the penalty it is to not use Silver and gold coinage as money is the same as treason … A Hanging!!! That;s right Congress knows Americans are taking a second look at our bill of rights and constitution. They know if they slip up its their neck on the line literally. Just know there is more that meets the eye when every president who stands up to a Central bank and gets assisinated. its not a terrorist or is it? Want a war on terror? then get the ones who stand to gain the most by making America week and feeble economically, and spritually. We are not your slaves you may not create laws to make up struggle on the mire while predators circle our sinking bodys in you financial quick sand.

  5. If they stick it to us by using the "Commerce Clause" the debate over the constitutionality of the health care reform is ongoing. Many legal experts agree, however, that under the so-called "Commerce Clause" of the constitution (Article 1, Section 8), Congress has the authority to regulate health care reform, including requiring individuals to buy health insurance and enacting penalties for not having insurance. The U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the Commerce Clause to allow Congress to regulate activities that have a major impact on our national economy.”
    Most of us disagree with this, but, and here is something else that article says;

    “But all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States”

    This would mean that these Health Care regulations apply to everyone from the President on down.

  6. Simultaneously we need to be working to get the Fed government people kicked out. This strategy will work!

    This is a grass roots level movement that the 912 project has picked up (Glen Beck) and the other "main stream" patriot movements are getting on board. Spend 10 minutes and check it out.

  7. Here is a youtube video on it.

  8. Nobody should be discussing a NEW Healthcare Bill…. and save us headaches, heartaches, and getting in debt for generations to come. Instead of "Opting Out" the Pubbies should have voted for "Opting IN". Now, it must be KILL THE BILL!!!!

    You need 38+ states to trigger a conflict between 'States rights' and Federal Govt 'rights. That would force the Federal Govt to back off – or throw it into a Constitutional debate to be settle by the Supreme Court. Anything less than 38 (3/4 majority) the Federal Govt can cut funding and force those states to 'adhere' to a bad law. I would not put that past these guys.

    We either unify, or hang individually

  10. For a family of four making the as much as can be made and still get a government subsidy, they say premiums will be real close to $900 per month. Is this affordable insurance? I thought they said affordable. Then, after your $900 per month you'll have your deductible, your co-insurance, your copays. Not to mention there doesn't seem to be much in there about dental or vision. So you're out of pocket completely on those two health issue. I've written my rep and senators. They don't care what I think because I don't think what they think. As a recently unemployed individual, I'm not able to afford it at all. What is going to happen to me if I don't find a job with health insurance?

    • John = where did you get those figures? I would like to use your statements but need to know where folks can go who want to challenge me.

  11. You can add Wisconsin to the list of states working on opt-out legislation. It now has legs on both the Senate and Assembly sides of the State Legislature. In fact, my understanding is that the number of states is now up to 29.

  12. MANDATORY HEALTH CARE NULLIFICATION IN NH
    New Hampshire has a Constitutional Amendment introduced for 2010, CACR30, that affirms an individual's right to enter, or refuse to enter, into a contract, specifically for health care insurance.

  13. Okay, so how do we help?

  14. In reviewing the map, I see no Green pins and lots of Black pins. Doesn't look too good for citizens expecting 10th Amendment protection from their States.

  15. People need to contact their State and local Representitives to file Constitutional ammendments to protect the people in their States to keep rights to choose you own healthcare options. There is proposed legislation in 25 states calling for legislation or state constitutional amendments to guard citizens against attempts to socialize health care through the “public option” health care mandate and other mandates currently under consideration by State Congress. Arizona already has such a measure on its 2010 ballot. You can go to your state house of reps web site to see if your state is propossing the legislation. This is very important to all Americans.

  16. Great news! Thank you for the info. Also loved "Resist DC: a Step by Step Plan for Freedom". You have hit on the non-violent way to freedom and restoring the Constitution in America. Now the problem is making sure the polititians in State government don't goof on us like the Federal polititians do.
