Calls Needed For Health Care Freedom in Ohio!

Passing out of the Ohio House in October 2015, the Health Care Compact (HB 34) has a new life and making an end of session comeback to put Ohio back in charge of our own healthcare destiny.

The Health Care Compact legislation can be one of the most powerful and one of the most important bills that can pass this legislative session. The Health Care Compact would empowere member states with the legislative and fiscal freedom to make health care truly reflective of the health care needs of their state and not a costly one-size-fits-all federal health care program (Affordable Care Act) that has proven to be a failure.

The Ohio Senate Government Oversight & Reform Committee is holding hearings on the Health Care Compact (HB 34) today and tomorrow. To read the text of HB 34, click here. To read the Legislative Services analysis of HB 34, click here.


Already passed in 9 states, in line with health care freedom Ohioans have been fighting for and looked at favorably by the incoming Trump Administration, more and more the Health Care Compact is becoming the clear solution to Obamacare....

Obamacare is dead.  Long live ... what?  That is unclear.  "Vice President-elect Mike Pence said Tuesday that repealing and replacing ObamaCare would be the first item on President-elect Donald Trump's agenda," according to Fox News.  Its successor will emerge from a series of discussions soon to take place.  "It’ll be the first thing out of the gate. ... He wants the Congress when they convene in early January to take up the task of repealing and replacing ObamaCare first."

One of the possible replacements could be the Health Care Compact if only because the list of those who supported H.J.Res.50 reads like a Who's Who in the incoming administration.

• Indiana (home to VP-elect Pence)


• Alabama (AG-nominee Sessions)


• Georgia (HHS nominee Price)


• Texas (endorsed by Sen. John Cornyn)


• Kansas (proposed and endorsed by Rep. Pompeo and Sec. of State Kris Kobach)


• Oklahoma (endorsed by Sen. James Lankford)

The program that Mother Jones once derided as "a longshot" and pipe-dream of a delusional Tea Party has now come within measurable distance of becoming a serious contender to replace Obamacare.

HHS nominee Tom Price's rhetoric suggests he would have no objections in principle to  taking Washington out of the picture. In a quote cited by the Wall Street Journal Price said:  “We think it’s important that Washington not be in charge of health care,” the six-term congressman said in an interview this summer. “The problem that I have with Obamacare is that its premise is that Washington knows best.”

Congressman Price supporting the Health Care Compact, which utilizes block grants for the states and is a state based solution, is consistent with the incoming strategy of Trump & Pence as noted below....

Trump and Pence reissued their calls to eliminate barriers to encourage competition between health insurers across state lines, make it easier for Americans to open health savings accounts and block grant Medicaid funds to the states

Please contact the below GOP members of the Senate Government Oversight &Reform Committee and respectfully request that they support the Health Care Compact (HB 34) and put Ohioans in charge of their own health care destiny.

The Destiny of Health Care in Ohio is in Our Hands: Support the Health Care Compact (HB 34)

With the uncertainty of the health exchanges in the courts, the outcome of any ruling, even if in our favor, will not completely rid Ohio citizens from the chains of Obamacare.

As we continue our call for a full repeal of Obamacare, it is important that, when doing so, we also continue our fight for healthcare freedom in Ohio with support and passage of the Health Care Compact (HB 34).

Currently, the Health Care Compact (HB 34) is in the Ohio House State Government Committee. To read the text of HB 34, click here. To read the Legislative Services analysis of HB 34, click here.

Please contact the below GOP members of the House State Government Committee and respectfully request that they support the Health Care Compact (HB 34) and put Ohioans in charge of their own health care destiny.

With your support and immediate action, we can move one step closer to achieving our goal of true health care freedom for all Ohio citizens!

The Health Care Compact: The Best Path Forward

To learn more about the Health Care Compact currently in the OH House, click here.

From Breitbart --

There is no need, at this point, to belabor the problems with the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. Suffice it to say that millions of Americans have been negatively impacted by the new law, and that number will grow in the coming months and years.

The question now is what to do about it. Democrats are dividing into two camps: those who want to stand by the President’s signature achievement until the bitter end, and those who are running from Obamacare, trying to save their political careers.

At the same time, Republicans are just trying to stay out of the way. Having voted against the bill, regained control of the House in its wake, and attempted to repeal the ACA multiple times, they are enjoying their moment of vindication. They rightfully fear that any attempt to “fix” Obamacare will allow Democrats and the media to portray them as “co-owning” any problems that occur downstream. And there will be more problems.

But while the Republicans are in a much stronger position than they were at the time of the government shutdown, they are still in a strategic quandary. On the one hand, Obamacare is exacting a very real human toll in the country, and the longer they stand aside doing nothing, the more they will be painted as insensitive and unresponsive to the damage. And many voters, in the midst of a personal crisis, don’t really care who caused the problem. They just want it fixed.

On the other hand, once Republicans provide specifics on the “replace” part of their “repeal and replace” plan, Democrats will switch from defense to offense. If history serves as a guide, we can expect Republicans to propose a policy cooked up in one of the top Washington DC conservative think tanks: Cato, Heritage, AEI, Manhattan, etc. Or perhaps they will dust off Rep. Paul Ryan’s free market plan for reforming health care. But no matter its provenance, their plan will be perceived as pushing a “conservative” solution for the country, designed and implemented in Washington, DC. 

Such a move, once made, will put Democrats back on their home court, attacking Republican plans as heartless and greedy. And these attacks will continue into the 2014 election cycle.

So what can be done? Well, it might help to ask, “If you had to come up with the ideal plan going forward, what would it look like?” It might have the following elements:

• It would empower state and local governments to address the problems created by Obamacare (something they’re already doing in response to the website problems) while Washington, DC attempted to sort out the mess. 

• It would not require the repeal and replacement of Obamacare all at once (something that is politically unfeasible) but would allow health care regulations to be gradually adapted and changed on a state-by-state basis to meet the particular conditions in each state.

• It would make a serious impact on the long-term federal liabilities of the health care  system (liabilities that didn’t go away under ACA). 

• It would support insurance markets that are overseen by knowledgeable regulators who have decades of experience and are, in many cases, directly accountable to voters.

• It would already have received strong support from elected officials of both parties.

• It would accommodate a wide variety of health care policy solutions, from single-payer to health savings accounts to accountable care organizations, and would provide the funding to support any of them.

• It would be something that can be put in place quickly to help mitigate the damage currently being done by Obamacare.

Believe it or not, such an ideal plan already exists, and its legislation has already passed in 11 state legislatures and been signed into law in eight of those states. It’s called the Health Care Compact.

There are two basic parts of the Health Care Compact. First, it provides states with a “regulatory shield” that allows them to regain control over health care regulation in their state. Second, it takes all federal health care spending in a state and turns it into an annual mandatory transfer payment to that state, indexing it for changes in inflation and population.

Unlike the 2,200+ page Affordable Care Act, the Health Care Compact is remarkably simple. Weighing in at just four pages, it can be read and understood by every member of Congress. And its purpose is straightforward: shift the responsibility and authority (both regulatory and fiscal) for health care from the federal government to compacting states. And it can happen quickly; all that is required is Congressional consent for the compact to become operative.

There are no special restrictions on the kind of health care system a state may adopt under the Health Care Compact (other than normal Constitutional constraints). Vermont has already passed legislation to create a single-payer system; Utah was well on its way to creating a private market for health insurance prior to ACA and can now restart that effort; Massachusetts has a program, popular in that state, that was passed by Democrats and signed by Republican Gov. Mitt Romney.


These and other policy solutions would be allowed under the Health Care Compact. In fact, it is likely that we will see a different solution emerge for each state, customized for the particular demographics, policy preferences, and provider networks in that state.

Participation in the Health Care Compact is solely at the option of each state. States that wish to stay in the federal system are free to do so. And states are not required to drop federal health care programs upon joining the compact; they can stay in those programs until such time as they are prepared to provide a workable substitute for their citizens—as long as they foot the bill. And with the transfer of federal dollars to the state, they have the resources to do so.

Now, the Health Care Compact requires Congressional consent. But the frightening situation facing both parties today makes such consent politically viable.

For Republicans, the Health Care Compact provides the optimal solution to their current challenge: how to help Americans hurt by Obamacare without pushing a conservative policy that would generate even more uncertainty, or attempting a “fix” that could leave them sharing the blame for its failure. Leave it to the states to work through, while providing those states with the funds the federal government already collects and spends in that state. And because it shaves about $3 trillion from the next ten years of federal health care commitments, it is also fiscally prudent.

For Democrats, the Health Care Compact provides a lifeline that can save them from electoral disaster. By providing an state option to take control of health care regulation, they can enable their supporters—many of whom are eager for single-payer—to pursue their goals in their state, rather than being forced to fight to the death for a system that many already feel is just a warmed-over conservative policy.

Because the Health Care Compact is voluntary for states, fiscally sound, Constitutionally licit (there are over 200 interstate compacts in operation), policy neutral (allowing blue states to pursue blue solutions and red states to pursue red solutions), and adopted by eight states thus far with more on the way, it is the only practical response to Obamacare debacle.

Rahm Emanuel famously said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” What is less famous was his next sentence: “And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” Three years ago, it seemed a little crazy to think that Congress might ever consent to the Health Care Compact. But with a serious crisis underway, it is not only conceivable, it is the best path forward.

So it is time for Congress to consent to the Health Care Compact, and free the states to clean up the mess they’ve created. It’s time to turn a Washington failure into an American success—one state at a time.

Ohio Moves One Step Closer to True Healthcare Freedom

In utilizing provisions set forth in the U.S. Constitution (Article I Section 10), Ohio took another step closer to shedding the federal chains of Obamacare.

Giving Sponsor testimony in the OH House State & Local Government Committee on HB 227, the Health Care Compact, Rep. Wes Retherford & Rep. Terry Boose did an excellent job explaining the fiscal & legislative benefits and freedoms that will be gained by passing the HCC and becoming a member state.  

To read Rep. Retherford's testimony - click here / to read Rep. Boose's testimony - click here.

Already passed in eight states and introduced in nine more, including Ohio, the Health Care Compact, when approved by Congress, will allow the member states to completely remove themselves from the train wreck of Obamacare.

Legislatively, the HCC will allow member states to draft and pass healthcare related legislation task specific to the needs of their state....

Enters Ohio into the Health Care Compact, which, with the permission of the United States Congress, allows Ohio, as a member state, to suspend the operation of all federal laws, rules, regulations, and orders regarding health care that are inconsistent with Ohio laws adopted pursuant to the Compact.

The bill enacts and ratifies the Health Care Compact which, with the permission of the United States Congress, allows Ohio, as a member state, to regulate health care within the state (particularly, insurance), and to enter into the Compact with any other state that has legally joined in the Compact. From OLSC Bill Analysis

Financially, the HCC will bring our state dollars back to the state free of federal strings that will allow them to be spent in a manner that best suits the healthcare needs of Ohio residents....

Member states get an amount of money from the federal government each year to pay for health care. The funding is mandatory spending, and not subject to annual appropriations.

Each state’s funding is based on the federal funds spent in their state on health care in 2010. Each state will confirm their funding before joining this Compact. This funding level will be adjusted annually for changes in population and inflation.

As you can see, had the HCC been in effect, there would have been no need for Governor Kasich to expand Medicaid under Obamacare. 

The same funds that come with Obamcare strings attached under Governor Kasich's current Medicaid expansion would have already been allotted back to our state, as a member state of the HCC -- with NO Obamacare strings attached. 

While D.C. dawdles we need to start moving in a way that Constitutionally empowers the states to address the ever growing health care problems in a manner that best suits their state - as a member state, the Health Care Compact will allow Ohio to do exactly that.  

Please contact the below members of the OH House State & Local Government Committee and encourage them to support the HCC and putting Ohio residents back in control of the decision making process regarding our healthcare.

The Health Care Compact: 8 States & Counting -- Let's make Ohio #9!

OH Rep. Wes Retherford will be giving his sponsor testimony for the Health Care Compact (HB 277) on Tuesday November 19th, and is asking for our support and presence.  

If you can join us in Columbus in support of Rep Retherford's testimony on HB 227 or if you are interested in joining us for a up coming conference call to learn more on the Health Care Compact efforts in Ohio, please click here.

From The Health Care Compact --

As of this writing, the Health Care Compact (HCC) has been signed into law in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Indiana, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah. The bill has been introduced and is under consideration in nine other states. 

All of this progress is due to the grassroots advocacy and support of thousands of Americans like you who believe the federal government should stay out of health care.Together, we’re sending a clear message to Congress: America wants a wiser alternative to Obamacare.

Every state we gain increases the pressure on Congress to recognize the HCC as a means for member states to bypass the financial disaster of Obamacare—and to affirm the states’ right to operate at a smaller, local government level on issues like health care.

With more provisions of Obamacare set to take effect on January 1, we’ve arrived at a “strike while the iron is hot” moment in the HCC movement.The financial, ethical, and practical problems of Obamacare are becoming more real to the American people, and it’s up to us to show them that there is an alternative . . . one that is simple, locally empowering, and mandated by the Constitution.

There has never been a better time to tell your friends, neighbors, and coworkers about the HCC, because more people are open to the idea than ever before. There’s also never been a better time to throw your financial support behind the HCC, as the momentum builds for advocacy and awareness.

Please click here and sign the petition to show your support of HB 227 & the Health Care Compact efforts in Ohio.

Learn how to take the Second Step for Health Care Freedom in Ohio

The Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment (OHFA) was a monumental undertaking by many patriotic individuals and grassroots groups across Ohio, and made a huge statement in its success in protecting us from the individual mandate in Obamacare. Now we need to effect a solution.

Now is the time to take the second step for a true healthcare freedom in Ohio with the Ohio Health Care Compact (OHCC).

The Health Care Compact is an agreement between participating states that restores authority and responsibility for health care regulation to member states. The Health Care Compact does not make suggestions on what policies individual states should pursue, but advocates that health care policy should be decided at the state level.

Want to learn more about how the OHCC will work as the second step for health care freedom in Ohio?  Want to learn how you can help Ohio implement market-driven and patient-centered health care reform,through free markets?

-- Ohio Health Care Compact Web Site Launched -- Help Secure Health Care Freedom in Ohio

Introduced into the Ohio Senate earlier this year, efforts by Tea Party Patriot groups in Ohio to enact a Health Care Compact were put on hold so as not to confuse or undermine efforts to pass Issue 3, the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment.

Now that Issue 3 has passed with a mandate in all 88 counties, and the voters of our state have clearly stated their support for health care freedom in Ohio, it is time to take the second step in securing true health care freedom for Ohio -- with the Ohio Health Care Compact.

As part of a 50 state initiative between the Health Care Compact Alliance and the Tea Party Patriots, Health Care Compacts have already been passed in 4 states (TX, MO, GA & OK ) and have been introduced in 11 other states, including the Ohio Health Care Compact.

To learn more about the Ohio Health Care Compact and how you can help fight to secure a true health care freedom in Ohio go to www.ohiohealthcarecompact.com.  

Health Care Policy is about who & what is covered.
The Health Care Compact is about who decides.
And Ohio should decide what is best for Ohio!

The Ohio Health Care Compact: The Second Step for Health Care Freedom in Ohio

Finally bringing the Constitutionality of Obamacare to an end the U.S. Supreme Court has decided to hear the lawsuits brought by 26 states and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) sometime this spring.

Taking the first step towards healthcare freedom in Ohio and sending the U.S. Supreme Court a booming message against Obamacare, voters across the state -- Democrat, Republican and Independents alike -- passed the Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment with a mandate vote in all 88 counties.

Now it is time to take the second and most meaningful step in securing our Healthcare Freedom in Ohio! 

Regardless of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare, be it ruled Constitutional or Unconstitutional, the old healthcare system in our country was sorely lacking and clearly not working. 

An exciting & fast-growing 50 state initiative of the Tea Party Patriots & The Health Care Compact Alliance to enact Interstate Health Care Compacts, is the second step in securing true Healthcare freedom in Ohio. 

Health Care Compacts are quickly becoming a big hit for states looking to take back control of their health care and move the decision making process away from federal bureaucrats and closer to the people. These Constitutional Interstate Compacts (Article 1 Section 10) for Healthcare shift the responsibility of health care decisions closer to the people will give the states more flexibility in combating the rising costs of medicaid/medicare and health care in general.

The Health Care Compact has been introduced in 14 states and has passed the State House of Representatives in Montana and Colorado.  In more than 36 states, citizen groups and state legislators are actively considering the Health Care Compact.  In addition, the Governors for the states of Georgia, Oklahoma, Missouri & Texas have already signed the Health Care Compact into law.

Ready to take the second step in securing Health Care Freedom in Ohio, the Ohio Health Care Compact (SB 189) has already been introduced in the Ohio Senate (Click to read the full text).

Obamacare -- Ohio Style?

As we prepared to celebrate the birth of our country and freedom from oppresive and government intrusion, on 6/29/11 some members of Ohio's Donkey Brigade in Columbus introduced legislation that will create an Ohio version of Obamacare -- HB 287.

In part, and in creating regional health care boards, HB 287 will enact the Ohio Health Security Act to establish and operate the Ohio Health Care Plan to provide universal health care coverage to all Ohio residents.....

Sec. 3922.01.  As used in this chapter:

(A) "Blind trust" means an independently managed trust in which the beneficiary has no management rights and in which the beneficiary is not given notice of alterations in or other dispositions of the stock, mutual funds, or other property subject to the trust.

Sec. 3922.02.  (A)(1) There is hereby created the Ohio health care plan, which shall be administered by the Ohio health care agency under the direction of the Ohio health care board.

(2) The Ohio health care plan shall provide universal and affordable health care coverage for all Ohio residents, consisting of a comprehensive benefit package that includes benefits for prescription drugs. The Ohio health care plan shall work simultaneously to control health care costs, control health care spending, achieve measurable improvement in health care outcomes, increase all parties' satisfaction with the health care system, implement policies that strengthen and improve culturally and linguistically sensitive care, and develop an integrated health care database to support health care planning.

(B) There is hereby created the Ohio health care agency. The Ohio health care agency shall administer the Ohio health care plan and is the sole agency authorized to accept applicable grants-in-aid from the federal and state government, using the funds in order to secure full compliance with provisions of state and federal law and to carry out the purposes of sections 3922.01 to 3922.33 of the Revised Code. All grants-in-aid accepted by the Ohio health care agency shall be deposited into the Ohio health care fund established under section 3922.09 of the Revised Code.

In its' entirety, HB 287 (click to read HB 287) is nothing more than trying to enact Obamacare at the state level through newly created regional and state boards deciding your healthcare.

To combat this Ohio style of Obamacare, signatures for the Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment to be on the ballot this upcoming election will be submitted this Wednesday (7/6/11) to the OH Secretary of States office. Getting this on the ballot and passed is the first step in protecting Ohio residents from Obamacare's forced health care insurance mandate.  (Click here to join in the Signature Submittal Rally this Wednesday).

The second step to Healthcare Freedom in Ohio is through SB 189, the Ohio Health Care Compact, which when passed and approved by Congress, will give Ohio residents the right to craft healthcare laws task specific to our needs.

Health Care Compact

introduced in Ohio Senate

Ohio Continues the fight against Obama Care

COLUMBUS, OH -- The Tea Party Patriot Groups of Ohio are excited to announce that the Health Care Compact, an agreement between participating states that restores authority and responsibility for health care regulation to member states, was introduced into the Ohio Senate this past Wednesday. As part of the 50 state initiative to enact Health Care Compacts, the compact will allow Ohio to create its own health care policies by joining an interstate compact that supersedes prior federal law.

The Health Care Compact has been introduced in 14 states, and has passed the State House of Representatives in Montana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, Georgia and Texas.  It has passed the State Senate in Arizona, Missouri and Georgia. In addition, in more than 36 states, citizen groups and state legislators are actively considering the Health Care Compact.

Interstate compacts have been used throughout U.S. history to allow states to coordinate in important policy areas. Authority for compacts was established in the Constitution (Article I, Section 10), and more than 200 such agreements are currently in effect. They are voluntary agreements between states that, when consented to by congress, have the force of federal law.

"We would like to thank Senator Grendell and his staff for working with us on this important piece of legislation.  Oklahoma and Georgia have already signed the Health Care Compact legislation into law, and we hope to be the third", stated Gary Young of the North Ridgeville Tea Party Patriots and Chairman of the Ohio Health Care Compact Committee.

Ohio Health Care Compact

We will be taking Control of our Health Care One Step at a Time!



Ohio - As part of the Tea Party Patriots & The Health Care Compact Alliance 50 state initiative to enact interstate compacts specifically for health care, the Tea Party Patriot groups of OH are proud to announce the Ohio Health Care Compact!

 

The Ohio Health Care Compact is the key to true freedom when it comes to health care in Ohio. The Ohio Health Care Compact is in the beginning stages and we expect legislation to be introduced into the Ohio legislature in the immediate future.

 

Gary Young, coordinator for the North Ridgeville Tea Party Patriots and Coordinator for the Ohio Health Care Compact stated, "a health care compact in Ohio will be the key to our state's economic freedom and give us the means to specifically address and fix the health care concerns and funding in our state."

 

Already introduced in half a dozen other states, the Health Care Compacts are quickly becoming a big hit for states looking to take back control of their health care and move the decision making process away from federal bureaucrats and closer to the people. Shifting the responsibility of health care decisions closer to the people will give the states more flexibility in combating the rising costs of medicaid/medicare and health care in general.

 

The Ohio Health Care Compact, when enacted will not conflict with any efforts to repeal Obama Care or repealing of the health insurance mandate -- in fact it will enhance and make these efforts stronger!
