RITA the RINO opposes Wyoming joining the lawsuit to repeal Obamacare!! Lower Health Insurance Costs, Increase Availability

Lowering the cost of health insurance helps small business create jobs. I am an innovator when it comes to health care and will apply conservative, common sense solutions to bring insurance costs down and raise the quality and accessibility of care in Wyoming.

As Speaker of the House, I sponsored and the legislature passed HB128 that directs the Insurance Commissioner to explore with other insurance commissioners the creation of a consortium of like-minded states that could establish rules of reciprocity for the approval of comprehensive individual medical and surgical health insurance policies among the participating states and identifies matters to be considered by the commissioner in establishing rules of reciprocity, the types of policies eligible to be sold and the effect of interstate sales on regulation of domestic insurers. I believe this legislation will lower health insurance costs and increase availability for Wyoming citizens.

While we make common sense reforms at the state level, we must also push back against the federal health reform plan pushed into law by President Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi. As Speaker of the Wyoming House, I have asked the Governor to direct the Attorney General to have Wyoming join in the legal challenge to healthcare reform.

Besides raising taxes on Wyoming families and small businesses, this deeply flawed law represents an unprecedented encroachment on the liberty of individuals living in the respective states by mandating that all citizens and legal residents of the United States have qualifying healthcare coverage or pay a tax penalty. The Act represents an unprecedented encroachment on the sovereignty of the states and the Act converts what had been a voluntary federal-state partnership into a compulsory top-down federal program in which the discretion of Wyoming and its sister states is removed, in derogation of the core constitutional principle of federalism upon which this Nation was founded. The Act exceeds the powers of the federal government and violates the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. As Governor, I will make sure that Wyoming is in the fight to challenge this unconstitutional federal mandate.
