Via Linda Weeks and Debbie Spaugh, Grassroots Co-Chairs, Americans for Prosperity, South Carolina. Thanks Americans for Prosperity for your hard work on repealing Obamacare!
+++++++++++++++++
It’s been a year since President Obama signed The Affordable Health Care for America Act (or HR 3962/Obamacare). Americans for Prosperity and Grassroots Activists have spent the last year rallying against the bill. In November, Republicans seized upon our outrage and promised to repeal the law and stop it from being implemented at the state level. Republicans were swept into office mostly because of these promises.
We are now wondering why there are 13 South Carolina Republicans now actively seeking to implement “Obamacare” right here in South Carolina? Why is a bill “to provide for the establishment of the South Carolina Health Benefit Exchange pursuant to the federal health care act” receiving support from Republicans in the S.C. House of Representatives?
A bill sponsored by 13 Republican lawmakers is currently in the Ways and Means committee and if moved out of the committee and passed would set up a taxpayer-funded panel to exercise the exchange in South Carolina.
Supporting a bill that will implement Obamacare in South Carolina is not the kind of leadership we are expecting from our leaders in Columbia.
Please call the following Representatives and ask them if they were listening on November 2, 2010. Tell them that we want Obamacare repealed and we do not want the Health Benefit Exchange implemented in South Carolina.
