COLUMBUS- "State Representatives Ron Maag (R-Lebanon) and Barbara Sears (R-Monclova Twp.), together with State Senator Tim Grendell (R- Chesterland) today announced at a press conference they will soon be introducing joint resolutions in both the Ohio House and Ohio Senate that seek to safeguard the ability of Ohioans to continue to make their own health care choices.... proposing an amendment to the Ohio Constitution that prohibits any rule or law from forcing a person, employer or health care provider to participate in a health care system.
Recent federal court rulings in Virginia and Florida have found the provision of the federal health care law requiring individuals to buy health insurance or pay a fine is unconstitutional.
Lawmakers were joined at the press conference by Maurice Thompson from the 1851 Center, Alan Witten from the Ohio Project, and Mike Wilson and Chris Littleton from the Ohio Liberty Council.
Similar legislation has been introduced in states across the nation. If passed, the Ohio Health Care Freedom Act would appear as a statewide ballot issue."
