Tea Party activists joined with Sen. Elbert Guillory (D-Opelousas) last week to testify in favor of legislation to suspend federal health care regulations and empower state officials. Guillory’s bill would enable Louisiana to enter into Health Care Compacts (HCCs) with other states.
Sen. Elbert Guillory (D-Opelousas) has introduced a bill that would make possible for Louisiana to join with other states in forming a Health Care Compact (HCC). The idea is to move the responsibility and authority for shaping health care policy back to the states and away from the federal government.
Health care compacts can protect against federal overreach, cancel out ObamaCare and restore federalism. But more states are needed to reach “critical mass” and pressure the feds.
