Nice stunt and plays great to the minority base, but just who is left holding the bill when these Ohioans that support this “prohibit requiring individuals to obtain health insurance policies” go to the emergency room, or a doctor’s office or need any type of care from radiation treatment to setting a leg? Just who is it that this legislation declares as the payee of these unpaid bills from lack of any insurance policies? Will this not just make the Ohio uninsured paid for by the ones that now in Ohio have no insurance and are not made to carry some type of coverage? Wasn’t that the Tea Party’s problem before, to many uninsured being paid for by the rest of the insured? Just one more ridicules attempt at a law to do nothing but make less people pay for more freeloaders. To quote Rep Boehner, “Hell NO”.

The citizens of Ohio will have to pay more taxes to cover the increased medicare costs, from the losses in funding to pay for the federal bill. There will be more on medicare, new applicants, that drop off their insurance. Insurance premiums will go up for individuals, not counted in the CBO report, but a reality. Healthcare is a monster dead weight on the economy. There is nobody in Ohio who can’t get treated for a medical condition, and everyone knows this.

There is NO abortion funding, there is no illegal alien funding, Obama DID show a birth certificate. Don’t we have enough of a problem with our economy in this state that we don’t need a law suite that will cost probably millions, who will foot that bill? GROW UP!

But this tax being passed to all Americans is BECAUSE of REFUSAL of Americans to purchase an item being forced on us by an unconstitutional bill passed by the democrats without any bipartisan votes. And our federal govt can’t force us to purchase anything (commerce), so it will be deemed unconstitutional!

This is so silly. One of two things is the case: Either the mandate to purchase insurance is constitutional, or it is not. The Supreme Court will ultimately decide that. If the mandate is constitutional, then it will override any state law such as this one. If the mandate is not constitutional, then it will be struck down whether or not this state law passes. So take your pick: This state-level legislation is either unnecessary or useless. Either way, it’s stupid.

“Has anyone else wondered why the 33 million people this law is supposed to help who didn’t have insurance —- Why didn’t we just set 33 million dollars aside for their coverage? Cheaper and quicker, but alas the democrats couldn’t steal more.” This would have been the smarter thing to do, but this admin doesn’t care about our economy—only that they are able to make it fail by taking over (nationalizing) HC, student loans, auto industry, banks, energy, legalizing illegals so they can get their votes, overwhelming our economy with handouts, entitlements, borrowing, printing of money. When it fails, they will be waiting with their socialistic agenda. They’ve been waiting for years for our govt to fail. They’ve had plans for our country. They couldn’t beat us on the battlefield, so they did it to us from within. They got a Marxist elected as Prez and he surrounded himself with Communist, Marxist, and Socialists radicals for czars and his administration. They used foul organizations like ACORN who didn’t care to use illegal means to get him elected including voter registration fraud/voter fraud. They gathered illegal campaign contributions by leaving off info that would have identified the contributor, in some cases these contributors weren’t American. He was illegally elected president and his fellow democrats, like Jennifer Brunner, refused to investigate the voter fraud (200,000 in Ohio alone). Gov Strickland stood behind Jennifer Brunner, so I blame both of them.

OldTimer, The 10th Amendment to the US Constitution says that any and all powers not listed are reserved for the states and the people. So, If the US Government passes a law that doesn’t fall under their constitutional jurisdiction, and the states pass a law making that US law null and void, then it is perfectly legal and constitutional. That’s why our constitution was made the way it was, so that the local governments and the people have the most say. But hey, what do I know, I only studied Constitutional law

Old timer, I believe some states do obtain the right to have their laws supercede the federal government. I believe Texas and a few others are exempt of that rule.

Next thing you will be forced to vote for the democratic party. That will not be necassary when Obama grants illegal aliens amnesty and they can all vote democratic.

This is just the first step in taking back America from the tyrants. The next step will be in November when we get rid of the freedom hating folks that seem to think we need them to take care of us.

You Rushpubliscums just seem to love it when your ilk detain people without counsel or due process, listen in on phone conversations, search properties (and seize property) without warrants…. but you are crying like a bunch of wet toddlers over THIS? Rest assured, this is Constitutional. the Federal Government absolutely has the authority to do this, unlike all of those other things I mentioned that the Government was doing (and probably still is, quite frankly.)

Nunya…..if you believe the fact this health care bill is going to save money, I feel sorry for you. Businesses run like GM don’t deserve to be in business, who in their right mind ought to get paid 50 bucks an hour to pull a lever…..and now Obama wants to tell us how to run our businesses and our lives. Him and Pelosi are disgusting and need to go. I’m glad a 40 something year old president who’s never run anything and has a cabinet that 92% of them have only been in politics is going to tell us how to do things. Jones should contact Obama’s advisors, they can advise him on how to go around the system.

States cannot override federal laws be it through legislation or constitutional amendment. That was driven home by the Civil War. That’s why we have a federal government and not a confederacy.

Nunya - they want to ‘amend’ the constitution which is perfectly legal. NoBama chooses to ignore the constitution, rather than uphold it as he swore to do. One of his actions is illegal, the other makes him a liar.

these people that are so upset they want to change the Ohio constitution about this but not about the GM buyout, the Bank Bailout or two wars from Mr. Bush but now that someone is trying to fix something, and save money eventually, she wants to spend time trying to get the constitution changed. This is why we need to vote most of the people in office today, OUT.

jackphat> Nobody, Republican, Independent or Democrat wants to be told they “have” to buy anything from an under-regulated monopoly. We all want to lower insurance premiums and we all want the very best health care in the world. We are all willing to pay our “fair” share. Who pays for the health care of the 32 million that are uninsured now? I am pretty sure I am.

IT does not appear that any of your crac-addled, nunahs out there really understand what the constitution is about. You do not put things like this as amendments for goodness sake. That is why laws were made - to allow us to uphold the meaning of the constitution. Listen to your selves…Oh wait, you cannot shut your mothes long enough to hear an opinion from another, especially if that person is not the same color as you.

Let’s see how many Democrackheads in the Ohio Senate vote against this. We’re going to be making a list, checking it twice and vote the Dims out anyways.
