ALEC wants to kill Obamacare
The American Legislative Exchange Council is pushing new legislation to prevent insurance companies from accepting subsidies under the healthcare law. In public, the new legislation is being called the "Healthcare Freedom Act," but behind closed doors it's known as the "Obamacare Kill Bill." The law would suspend the licenses of health insurers who accept Obamacare subsidies, making it virtually impossible to insure those who can't afford new plans.
If one of these laws were to actually go into effect, it would force insurance companies to try and collect premiums from patients, or lead them to stop doing business in the states in which it was enacted. Already, the measure has been introduced in Ohio and Missouri, despite the fact that it would be preempted by federal law. States do regulate their own insurance licenses, but the law is an obvious conflict to the federal Affordable Care Act.
Even after more than 40 attempts to repeal Obamacare, a government shutdown, and Ted Cruz's make-believe filibuster, Republicans don't seem to get the point that the healthcare law is here to stay. This new legislation is just another pathetic attempt to dismantle the law, at the expense of millions of Americans who need health insurance. ALEC's legislation doesn't represent "healthcare freedom," it represents partisan lawmakers and corporate interests who will do anything to undermine our president.
