Idaho on Wednesday became the first state to pass a law saying
no thanks to part of President Obama's health care proposal.
The Idaho Health Care Freedom Act says in part, "every
person within the state of Idaho is and shall be free to choose
or decline to choose any mode of securing health care services
without penalty or threat of penalty."
Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter, a Republican, said Wednesday
he signed it because he believes any health care laws should
ensure people are "treated as an individual, rather than
as an amorphous mass whose only purpose in this world is to
obey federal mandates."
Several other states may follow suit.
The governor of Virginia is expected to sign a bill passed
in his state last week, and according to American Legislative
Exchange Council, similar proposals have made it through one
chamber of the legislatures in Missouri, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
While such bills have recently failed in six states, 22 additional
states have seen proposals introduced.
