OKLAHOMA CITY – State Rep. Mike Ritze plans to reintroduce a bill to “nullify” the individual mandate in the 2010 federal health care legislation in Oklahoma.
“I disagree with the Supreme Court’s ruling and believe that state governments were intended to serve as a check on the federal government,” said Ritze, R-Broken Arrow. “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which is better known as ObamaCare, is an example of federal overreach and my legislation will authorize the state to resist it and ban the enforcement of it.”
Ritze said his legislation would authorize the Oklahoma attorney general to defend citizens who fail to purchase health insurance against the federal government and criminalizes the enforcement of the individual mandate.
“My hope is that ObamaCare will be repealed, but I do not think that means we have to wait for the repeal to happen. Oklahoma lawmakers should do what they can to support our choice to make our own health care decisions,” Ritze said.
TAKE ACTION
Nullify in YOUR state. Contact your state reps and urge them to introduce the Nullification Act NOW. Or push them to pre-file for the 2013 legislative session. They Need to hear from you early AND often!

After 400 years of America without Obamacare, It's amazing anyone is still alive to be mandated to buy health insurance. Thank God for socialism, huh Loomfries. Just in the nick of time.

@Yukon6400 400 years? I remember the Bicentennial and it wasn't 200 years ago.

And the alternative to us paying for you who end up in the Hospital and didn't want to pay for insurance is?
Right, you Neocons have no alternative and never have.

Not an answer (as usual) unless you're considering yourself the lower uninsured class having beef with the big bad elite who's for insurance. And I don't give a shart about fleabaggers. Try again.

Now this dip shit disagrees with the SCOTUS? Unfortunately for him, it is now the law of the land. Anyone that doesn't like it is free to leave.

@cdlcrash Or change the law. Maybe that's possible in a democracy? Don't you agree?

I don't care if they make laws to not allow it. See what happens with they have to keep paying for people to make ER visits without insurance.

@neutral_person What's yuor point? ? ?
That goes on every day in every hospital in the country.
Seems to be a little bit late to be worrying about that particular problem.

@aussite This bill charges people who can afford insurance. Less money we have to pay.

@neutral_person Let me get this straight, are you actually saying that the government is going to collect that money and use it to benefit those without healthcare.
Riiiight!

And get this Muslims are exempt, any insurance is against their belief, as they see insurance as a form of usury. Consequently any Muslim is exempt from paying a hefty H. R. 3590 “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” fine.

Hell no. It's hilarious that he's convinced people that this is social medicine and will benefit them.
He's FORCING people to buy insurance from a private company or face a tax.
Think about that.

And you are forced to by car insurance or face a fine or worse. You might know this if you were living in the US.

You don't have to drive. You aren't forced to buy car insurance at all. Just use public transit.
You have zero choice whether to buy health insurance or not. You either do, or pay a hefty tax.
You might know this if you were living in the...oh, wait, you are.

@jum_runky You also have about a hundred percent chance of needing a doctor in your lifetime, and I for one am tired for people leeching off of hard working people like myself. The republitards are always screaming about personal responsibility. Well this forces people to do just that, and they're still screaming. If it was put into law as proposed by the Heritage Foundation in the 80's, no one would have heard a peep from all you simpletons. But since a black guy did it, the same conservati More..

Why is it always the lefty who brings race into things?
I don't give a flying fuck if Obama is green. Obamacare is a terrible idea. It's the worst of social and privatized medicine mixed into one big premium-raising clusterfuck.
I'd oppose it if any Republican were pushing it, too, so you can fuck off with your "you guys" bullshit.
