Grassroots Way Ahead of Elected Officials
This just in from the Department of Government Redundancy and Time Wasting.
The following press release was published by Thom Tillis and Phil Berger on Monday:
RALEIGH, N.C. –House Speaker Thom Tillis (R-Mecklenburg) and Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) announced today the formation of a Joint Legislative Study Committee to investigate the impacts of the Affordable Care Act on North Carolina.
The committee is being formed to explore the real-world impacts that the Affordable Care Act is having on North Carolina’s economy and citizens through disruptions in the insurance marketplace, dropped coverage for families and higher premiums without improved access to providers.
“Given the steps we have taken over the last three years to reduce taxes and regulations on working North Carolinians, it’s important to get to the bottom of how Obamacare impacts our state’s economy and citizens on a daily basis. This committee will delve deeply into the problems Obamacare has caused to the health insurance marketplace and to our economy as businesses and individuals absorb the costs,” said Tillis and Berger.
Members serving on the committee as well as the first meeting date will be announced in the coming weeks.
I can safely say to Tillis and Berger that the impact on North Carolina by the ACA is “negative”. Look at me, a committee of one! (Can I get paid for this?)
Hey elected guys, on Saturday in Charlotte, CAUTION is helping promote an event organized by Human Events publisher and entrepreneur Stephen O’Connor and Independent Women’s Voice. A few experts, including one from the John Locke Foundation and one from Mycancellation.com, are going to be filling us in on the impact of the ACA on North Carolina. People in attendance will also be able to share their stories on the matter…to a film crew if they’d like. Here’s your committee. The grassroots and think tanks are WAY ahead of you!
While I appreciate your concern, forming a committee to “study” something as widely known as Obamacare is quite frankly an abdication of duty. Instead of more studies, which have already been done, now is time to start taking action to protect the citizens of North Carolina from the ACA. South Carolina has the right idea.
