Constitutional Amendment for Ohio health care

Ohio Liberty Council to Force Statewide Vote on Health Care Mandates
COLUMBUS – The Ohio Liberty Council, a statewide coalition of over 25 grassroots groups, today submitted a proposed state constitutional amendment that will “preserve the freedom of Ohioans to choose their health care and health care coverage.” The amendment, drafted by the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, would protect Ohioans from the financial burdens and individual mandates contained in the new federal health care measure passed by Congress. The group filed constitutional amendment summary language and nearly 3,000 signatures from registered voters in 48 counties with the Ohio Secretary of State and Attorney General.
The amendment language is available here.
Twenty-six state legislatures have introduced bills to propose constitutional amendments to block the individual mandates contained in the new federal regulations, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Today’s filing by the Ohio Liberty Council is the nation’s first citizen-initiated action.

Finally, Ohio is set to have her own law regarding health care which would be done under state sovereignty and would make the federal law un-applicable. This is a wonderful opportunity and should appear on the ballot in Nov for the people to vote on. Perhaps the people of Ohio can accomplish what our elected officials cannot. Ohio is not alone in this endeavor and will not be the last I'm sure.
