Georgia is not sitting idly by waiting on congress to pass their political payback and ransom to the unions bill, which started out as a supposed health care reform bill. Our legislature is once again back in session and one of the pieces of legislation being talked about is a change to our state constitution which would allow us to opt out of the federal monstrosity. Whether it ever actually ever sees the light of day is something that remains to be seen.
Georgians could have a say this fall on whether to sidestep the proposed federally-mandated health care plan.
The bill from state Sen. Seth Harp would pre-empt the federal healthcare proposal currently being considered by Congress that has not yet received final approval.
Harp's constitutional amendment would allow Georgians to opt out of federal coverage. It needs to be approved by two-thirds of the Legislature and would then be on the 2010 ballot for Georgians to vote on.
Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue this week also criticized the federal health care proposal, saying it would create a financial burden for states. He urged Georgia lawmakers to find ways to get around the federal plan.
No doubt as word of this starts to spread Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi will go into another one of their famous closed door, super secret sessions and draft language, probably involving some sort of civil rights/racism language to punish any state that takes such action.
