Alabama to Consider Health Care Nullification

Alabama State Representative Mac Gibson has introduced House Bill 47 (HB47), which proposes an “amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, to prohibit any person, employer, or health care provider from being compelled to participate in any health care system.”

If approved by both houses of the Alabama legislature, it will go to a ballot vote for final approval by the citizens of the state.

Alabama joins Georgia, Ohio, Florida and a number of other states considering similar state Constitutional Amendments to effectively nullify, or resist any future national health care plan.

When a state ‘nullifies’ a federal law, it is proclaiming that the law in question is void and inoperative, or ‘non-effective,’ within the boundaries of that state; or, in other words, not a law as far as that state is concerned

New Hampshire recently introduced a bill to make law that not only makes federal restrictions of health care choices illegal in the state, but also expressly prohibits interference in these choices by federal agents and requires state agencies to interpose as a protection.
