Federalism In Action

Today in the great state of Virginia, the 'Health care freedom act' was passed.

This bill which was passed in the Virginia House of Delegates and State Senate would nullify the government mandate of health insurance.

SB 417, a bill that protects Virginia residents from being forced to purchase healthcare coverage, PASSED the Senate Committee on Commerce & Labor, 8-7. THIS IS BIG. Senators Colgan and Puckett crossed party lines to vote for this bill. No one in the room expected the bill to pass the committee, and now the bill goes to the Senate!!... These bills could come up for a vote in the Senate as early as Thursday.
