Do Minnesota Republicans Support ObamaCare?


It’s a lie. And the media and politicians just keep repeating it.

They say we have to set up an ObamaCare Exchange in our state or the Federal Government will have complete control over your health care.

The truth is, if our state sets up an ObamaCare Exchange, the Federal Government will have complete control over your health care.

ObamaCare bribes each state to set up what is known as a Health Insurance Exchange. It is through the exchange that the infamous individual mandate to purchase insurance will be enforced.

Governor Dayton is doing everything in his power to assist President Obama with the government takeover of your health care. But he can’t do it alone—he needs the help of Republicans in the legislature to make it happen.

Remember:  No matter the outcome of the Supreme Court decision, Minnesota (just as Massachusetts already has) can create mandated government-controlled health care.  Governor Dayton has taken $31,317,000 from the federal government to create this monstrosity.

ObamaCare stipulates that,

“An Exchange may not establish rules that conflict with or prevent the application of regulations promulgated by the Secretary [of Health and Human Services (HHS)].”

In a state-created exchange:
  • The Federal Government determines “Qualified Plans”
  • The minimum essential benefits that must be included in a plan is determined by HHS
  • HHS establishes the criteria for certification of health plans
  • Only HHS-approved plans may be sold in the exchange
  • The HHS Secretary and the General Accounting Office will have continuing oversight of the exchanges
Does that sound like the state will have any authority over health care decisions?

Call me crazy, but doing exactly what the feds are telling you to do does not portray a state that is in control of anything. And it does not instill confidence that the state will resist continuing federal assaults on our sovereignty.

Politicians from both sides of the aisle want you to believe that setting up the exchange allows them to retain state authority. As shown above, the truth is quite different.

While Governor Dayton’s vision for the exchange may differ slightly from the plans concocted by Minnesota Republicans, the outcome will be the same—your health care will be taken over by the government, unless you take action to stop it now.

Please click here to sign the petition opposing the establishment of a Health Insurance Exchange in our state.

By design, there is no administrative flexibility in an exchange, and HHS will make all pertinent decisions.

Setting up the exchange eliminates free market health care, politely opens the door to the feds, and obediently surrenders state sovereignty.

After you sign the petition, please call the Minnesota Republican Caucus and tell them to just say NO to ObamaCare! Tell them you expect them to keep their word and thwart the government takeover of your health care at every turn.

You can reach the House Republican Caucus at 651-296-5502 and the Senate Republican Caucus at 651-296-2577.

If you don’t speak up now, you will have government-run health care and you will be stuck with ObamaCare for a very long time.

Please click here to sign the petition, and help us stop the government takeover of your health care.
