Alabama Governor to Block State Health Exchange?

On Nov. 6, Alabama voters chose to nullify the federal government’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obama-Care.  Opponents of this move – including most of the local media – tried to paint a picture of “federal trumps state”, and “this is a lost cause”, but the voters held true and passed Amendment 6, nullifying health care mandates.

I checked local news sources for backlash and found a press release from Alabama Governor Robert Bentley.  It reads in part…

“The worst piece of legislation that has ever been passed in my lifetime by Congress is this quote ‘Affordable Health Care Act,’” he said. “It is not affordable and it is not health care. It is the worst — ah, I said that. I don’t have to say it twice.”

“They have made a mistake in the bill,” he said. “When they wrote the bill, they only talked about state exchanges. So if I refuse — like a lot of conservative governors are doing — to set up a state exchange, then it’s going to throw a monkey wrench in all of the stuff that’s going on. And I’m telling you folks, the states may be the last great hope — to be the firewall — against the implementation of this health care bill.”

It appears Gov. Bentley is not swayed by the SCOTUS decision at all.  He stands with his people and stands up for the 10th Amendment.

Before Dr. Bentley was elected Governor, he signed a pledge to uphold the 10th Amendment, and resist unconstitutional federal power.  This was during his campaign, now he is Governor, and he looks to be keeping his word.

If they do this, they'll need to be ready with a response if the federal government threatens to pull a lot or all of the state's federal money too. Alabama's gotten billions of dollars since 2009 from the Recovery Act alone--if they're going to take a swing at this they'd better realize they're up against a mean pitcher.

 @RobertE Hey Billy BOB, your superior intellect (tongue in cheek) as all can see by your vile language shows that you are a moron and not worthy to set your unclean feet in our South. Why are you so angry anyway? Did someone upset your Obama sized stupid glands??? Go play in the street somewhere and let the adults rule the conversation here.

i am in california but i just called bentley's office to thank him for upholding the tenth amendment.  we do not have anyone like that here.  we are being used as the model agenda 21 state.  that is why prop 37 - gmo labeling failed.  californians went all out for this but voter fraud and the Center for Food Safety, a UN NGO,  made sure it did not happen.  i hope bentley will also nullify anything having to do with un agenda 21because the healthcare abomination and gmos, along with every other aspect of control over our lives, falls under the aegis of the united nations.  please be vigilant.  do not end up like california.

(though i admit i did invite governor bentley to relocate to california.  except for the chemtrails we do have better weather  :  )

 hi arcadia11 ,

too bad your conservative (red) vote didn't count in California.... I'd like to personally thank CA for their 55 electoral votes to Obama - ensuring the current administration's "will" is imposed on all Americans, including those who do NOT want it and forcing us all (those who work for an income) to pay for it. We need more conservatives in CA to move that state to a conservative vote in the electoral vote count and get the state to actively embrace a nullification process as a whole.. nothing short of a miracle, for sure.

Fritz, Calling out insults ['hey dummy" in your post above] has no business here - Small business owners WORK for a living and an "income" - which is the monetary payment received for goods or services.  They don't just magically open up a business name and sit back while the bucks roll in..  Back to the point of this forum - the government is well beyond constitutional limitations and plunging your fine son along with all of our children into a debt beyond comprehension and recovery. Please think about this matter. When you look at your children and grandchildren, where will their future lie? What type of life will they be living? Will they be getting by as the 'average American' revamped by socialism? Or, will they each have a chance to be his or her own success story? Given the choice, which of those two options do you wish for your son and your grandchildren?  Revamped average American or wildly successful beyond your dreams? I hope you encourage each of them to reach for a wildly successful future with the freedoms they are entitled to. You can help protect that by working to nullify in your state. Good luck and may God bless your efforts.  - MachRocket

hello machrocket -

 

those 55 electoral votes would have gone to obama no matter how californians voted.  obama is the manchurian candidate who was selected and groomed long ago for this one performance -  to be the first usurper illegal alien dictator of america under the un charter.  the officials in this state are pretty fully in enthrallment to the un and agenda 21.  it's quite sad and not a little scary.

 

actually, i am apolitical.  but i agree that we need more sane people of all kinds to see the ubiquitous red flags and engage their critical thinking skills to take action.   like right now.

 

no one is going to like living under global communism.  i wish those who are pushing for it, who are at the same time protesting gmos, smart meters, and loss of freedoms, would make the painfully obvious connection between these crimes and obama's un collectivism.   though it does seem that the number of awake humans grows larger by the hour.  seriously.

 

and how nice to be able to say 'agenda 21' openly here  ~  thanks.

 

nice to meet you all.

 

cheers -

arcadia
