South Carolina House passes bill making ‘Obamacare’ implementation a crime!

The South Carolina state House passed a bill Wednesday that declares President Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to be “null and void,” and criminalizes its implementation.

The state’s Freedom of Health Care Protection Act intends to “prohibit certain individuals from enforcing or attempting to enforce such unconstitutional laws; and to establish criminal penalties and civil liability for violating this article.”

The measure permits the state Attorney General, with reasonable cause, “to restrain by temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, or permanent injunction” any person who is believed to be causing harm to any person or business with the implementation of Obamacare.

Earlier this year in her state of the state address, Gov. Nikki Haley said that South Carolina does not want and cannot afford the president’s plan, “not now, not ever.”

“To that end, we will not pursue the type of government-run health exchanges being forced on us by Washington,” she said. “Despite the rose-colored rhetoric coming out of D.C., these exchanges are nothing more than a way to make the state do the federal government’s bidding in spending massive amounts of taxpayer dollars on insurance subsidies that we can’t afford.”

The nullification bill moved on to the state Senate Thursday and referred to the Committee on Finance.

“Now that Michigan has refused to implement a Healthcare Exchange and Healthcare Partnership for Obamacare,…we now have to nullify the entire law from being implemented here in Michigan”, said 105th District – Michigan State Representative Greg MacMaster.  “We have no choice and have to do everything we can to help save Michigan businesses from the exorbitant costs and expenses of Obamacare, and try to help save Michigan jobs”.   MacMaster said.
