Breaking: Today the Virginia State Senate passed Senate Bill 283 (SB283) by a vote of 23-17.
Provides that a resident of the Commonwealth shall not be required to obtain or maintain a policy of individual insurance coverage. This applies regardless of whether the person has or is eligible for health insurance coverage under any policy or program provided by or through his employer or a plan sponsored by the Commonwealth or the federal government. The measure also states that no provision of Title 38.2 renders a resident liable for any penalty, assessment, fee, or fine as a result his failure to procure or obtain health insurance coverage.
Also passed today is SB310 and SB417, both of which provide “that a resident of the Commonwealth shall not be required to obtain or maintain a policy of individual insurance coverage.”
Pending in the Virginia house is House Bill 10, which is a proposal for a similar law.

Amen. There is no freedom more precious than the right to die of pneumonia.
I cherish the right to die of pneumonia. No one can take away that right.

If Pelossi actually utilizes the Parliamentarian scam in which no up or down vote is held on Obamacare, and the House simply "DEEMS" it to have passed, we can expect a massive effort at the state level to NULLIFY Obamacare the way Virginia has just done. The purpose of Obamacare is population reduction. It would cause huge numbers of doctors to retire causing very long lines and government bureaucrats would decide whether or not we can have medical procedures. Our private medical histories would become open to the government and the ATF could troll through them to ban millions of us from being allowed to own firearms. Politicians prefer unarmed peasants.

We're going to need to more clearly address the preemption issue. Those who clam that the Federal government can make a law that will overwrite the state law in this matter must be reminded of the non-existent constitutional ground upon which the federal law clams to stand.
That this is an act of nullification and interposition in accordance with the responsibility of the State government to protect the rights of the people from the Unconstitutional excesses of the Federal government.
In other-words we don't much care what the Federal government thinks with regard to it's own power. We here are asserting in no uncertain terms that they have no such power over the people and they will not be allowed to weld that power to the destruction of our peoples rights!
