Oklahoma Will Not be Bullied by Obama
by Oklahoma State Senator Randy Brogdon, candidate for Governor of OK
Government run health care legislation passed the Senate Finance Committee Tuesday causing great concern for many Oklahomans.
Obamacare is getting closer to becoming a reality. Many of us feel frustrated watching Washington politicians continue to move this legislation forward while ignoring the majority voices from Town Hall meetings and Tea Parties.
It is clear to me that the battle for our health care is being waged in Washington, but the war will be won at the state level.
As Governor, I will invoke our 10th Amendment rights, which ensures; “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution,nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Health care decisions for Oklahomans shouldbe made in Oklahoma, not in Washington D.C. As Governor I will challenge the status quo and jealously guard the rights of our citizens.
Government controlled health care would destroy Oklahoma jobs, ruin private insurance companies, limit competition, lower quality of care, increase taxes, and bust the family budget.
To counteract Obamacare, I will be authoring legislation that protects the rights of the people of Oklahoma from an over-reaching federal government, and secure the responsibility of the State Legislature to make decisions for the citizens of this state.
This legislation is a ballot initiative which will amend the Oklahoma Constitution to protect all kinds of health care systems that could lawfully exist in the state.
The proposed constitutional amendment would:
- Prohibit any law or rule from directly or indirectly compelling any person or employer to participate in any health care system;
- Allow any person or employer to pay directly for health care services without paying any penalties or fine;
- Permit a health care provider to provide direct purchased health services without paying any penalties or fines;
- Stipulate that the purchase or sale of private health insurance shall not be prohibited.
As Governor, I will stand in the gap between the citizens of Oklahoma and an ever-growing Federal government. My goal is to continue the fight to restore our Constitutional Liberties and to protect Oklahomans’ right to decide what is best for their family with “No Strings Attached.”
