Heads-up Alabama SB233 Health Care

March 22, 2010


Dear Alabama C4L Member,

State Senator Lowell Barron is not allowing SB233 to come to the floor for a vote. Demand, by calling NOW, demand that this issue be brought to the floor so that the voters of Alabama can have an up or down vote!

SB233 would propose an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901 to prohibit any person, employer, or health care provider from being compelled to participate in any health care system. It reads in part:

PROPOSED AMENDMENT

(a) In order to preserve the freedom of all residents of Alabama to provide for their own health care, a law or rule shall not compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in any health care system.

(b) A person or employer may pay directly for health care services and shall not be required to pay penalties or fines for paying directly for lawful health care services. A health care provider may accept direct payment for lawful health care services and shall not be required to pay penalties or fines for accepting direct payment from a person or employer for lawful health care services.

(c) The purchase or sale of health insurance in private health care systems shall not be prohibited by law or rule.
