Health Care Freedom Act Introduced in Texas (http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2010/11/health-care-freedom-act-introduced-in-texas/)
Tenth Amendment Center (http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/)
November 15th, 2010
A flurry of Health Care Freedom Acts – both as bills and resolutions for state constitutional amendments – have been prefiled for the 2011 legislative session in Texas. As of this writing, there are currently 7 that have been introduced. The following are the bill numbers, links to the full text, and a brief overview of the direction of the legislation:
House Bill 32 (HB32 (http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=82R&Bill=HB32))
No resident of this state, regardless of whether he has or is eligible for health insurance coverage under any policy or program provided by or through his employer, or a plan sponsored by the state or the federal government, shall be required to obtain or maintain a policy of individual insurance coverage except as required by a court or a governmental agency or department where an individual is named a party in a judicial or administrative proceeding. No provision of this title shall render a resident of this state liable for any penalty, assessment, fee, or fine as a result of his failure to procure or obtain health insurance coverage.
House Bill 124 (HB124 (http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=82R&Bill=HB124))
This state, an agency of this state, or a health care system may not:
(1) impose a fine or penalty on an individual or the individual’s employer for direct payment for a health care service;
(2) impose a fine or penalty on a health care provider for accepting direct payment for a health care service; or
House Bill 144 (HB144 (http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=82R&Bill=HB144))
This state, an agency of this state, or a health care system may not:
(1) impose a fine or penalty on an individual or the individual’s employer for direct payment for a health care service;
(2) impose a fine or penalty on a health care provider for accepting direct payment for a health care service; or
House Bill 203 (HB203 (http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=82R&Bill=HB203))
This state, an agency of this state, or a health care system may not:
(1) impose a fine or penalty on an individual or the individual’s employer for direct payment for a health care service;
(2) impose a fine or penalty on a health care provider for accepting direct payment for a health care service; or
House Joint Resolution 24 (HJR24 (http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=82R&Bill=HJR24))
proposing a constitutional amendment relating to the rights of individuals to choose or decline to choose to purchase health insurance coverage.
House Joint Resolution 27 (HJR27 (http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=82R&Bill=HJR27))
proposing a constitutional amendment relating to the rights of individuals to choose or decline to choose to purchase health insurance coverage.
House Joint Resolution 30 (HJR30 (http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=82R&Bill=HJR30))
proposing a constitutional amendment relating to the rights of individuals to choose or decline to choose to purchase health insurance coverage.
That’s it – so far. You’ll notice that they all address just the mandated coverage of health care, and none go to the core issue – that the federal government is not authorized by the constitution to be in the health care business. period. A good first step for Texas, nonetheless. We hope to see a courageous legislator in Texas take up the banner of the Federal Health Care Nullification Act.
