Arizona Residents Demand the Right to Choose
The Arizona senate approved a ballot initiative that would allow voters to send a strong message to Washington about the type of health plan they have. The Health Care Freedom Act would guarantee Arizona residents the right to decide whether to participate in any health plan. This would allow residents the right to decline to participate in all insurance plans.
Congrats to the Arizona folks. Setting an example I hope others will follow.
Hooray for Barry Goldwater’s state.
The American Legislative Exchange Council has a model resolution on its web site to help policy makers from other states who want to preserve citizens’ right to not participate in a public plan or be forced into a federal health exchange.
