Received this today from LAGOP. Looks like a vote for Obamacare for Louisiana has been forced:
Fellow Conservatives –
Yesterday, State Senators in the Insurance Committee voted for Obamacare.
Senate Bill 744 by Senator Karen Carter Peterson is designed not only to begin implementing Obamacare in Louisiana, but to also force Louisiana to pay for it.
Obamacare is bad public policy, but this bill makes it even worse.
If SB 744 is enacted, Louisiana will have little if any control over the implementation of a health care exchange due to miles of red tape and regulations put in place by Washington bureaucrats. But it gets worse. Louisiana would be forced to pay tens of millions of dollars every year for the privilege of Washington dictating state policy.
While the constitutionality of Obamacare is before the Supreme Court, Louisiana should not be rushing to spend our tax dollars on one of Washington’s most egregious mistakes.
It’s critical that we get engaged now and stop this legislation.
You can look up your Senator here, find their contact info here, or call the Senate switchboard at 225-342-2040.
Please contact your Senator and tell them to vote NO on SB 744.
All hands on deck! The future of our State, and country is at stake!
