Prop 101: Health care and choice for Arizona

Americans love choice.

Yakov Smirnov, the comedian who fled the Cold War-era Soviet Union to a new life in the United States, made a career out of examining the myriad choices of consumer products available in America, exclaiming: “What a country!”

Conservatives are particularly supportive of choice – from the ability to choose the schools our children attend to the ability to choose our doctors and health care plans.

Big-government liberals would deprive Americans of choice in education and health care and a host of other areas, replacing them with governmental mandates.

At least with respect to health care, we have a chance this November to prevent the “Hillary-care” style governmental takeover of our health care system in Arizona by supporting Proposition 101, “The Freedom of Choice in Health Care Act.”

Sadly, conservative support for choice has been obscured by the rhetorical capture of the language of choice by those who profit from abortion on demand. Even though the children whose lives are ended have no choice, and even though the father’s choice has no legal standing, supporters of legalized abortion have successfully obscured the violence of abortion in the fog of “reproductive choice.”

Perhaps as a result, some have expressed concern that Proposition 101 will in some way affect abortion in Arizona. Having read the language of the initiative and consulted with other pro-life attorneys, I am confident that there is nothing in Proposition 101 that will have any effect on abortion, one way or the other.

The only choices affected by Proposition 101 are your decisions about health care – your ability to choose your doctor, your health care plan, your course of treatment, and your payment plan.

As the failures of government make headlines every day, it is hard to believe there are still those who want to put more power into the hands of the state. And yet not only are they still there, their voices are growing louder – in fact, “universal health care” has become a rallying cry for the Democratic Party.

We can’t just sit around and wait for the same people – from both political parties -- who brought us things like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a broken and porous national border, Hurricane Katrina relief, huge budget deficits, etc. – we just can’t sit back and wait for them to take over our personal medical decisions as well.

That’s why I’m supporting Proposition 101 – “The Freedom of Choice in Health Care Act.” And if you love freedom, you’ll join me.

YES on 101


Prop. 101 would amend the Arizona constitution to make health care subject to the same rules as most other purchases. It starts with the common-sense idea that “all people should have the right to make decisions about their health care.”

If the amendment passes, state government would not be able to infringe on this right through restrictions, fines, or penalties for the insurance or health care purchase decisions of consumers.

Prop. 101 will guarantee that no piece of legislation can prevent you from paying for an alternative form of health care, if that is what you desire. No law can stop you from paying for additional professional opinions, or paying for tests that are not “authorized’ by a health plan, or obtaining a therapy that is not considered “mainstream.” Prop. 101 respects your precious right as an adult to decide for yourself about such matters.

Prop. 101 is not “for” or “against” universal health care. Prop. 101 is not a “health care reform” measure. Prop. 101 is concerned with just one goal: protecting our right to make our own health care decisions.

"but it wasn't people from


"but it wasn't people from both political parties. It was Republicans. Specifically conservative Republicans."

Both parties screwed it up and more importantly how about the idiots that got the loans who had no business getting one. That's right. Obamba's Acorn people pushed for those loans.

YES on 101


A review of internal communications by employees of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System shows that the government agency was the driving force behind the formation of an opposition campaign against Proposition 101 — actions which could violate state law.

The documents were provided to supporters by The Goldwater Institute, which requested them through the Freedom of Information Act as part of their own investigation into the legality of AHCCCS’ actions. Prop. 101 supporters have already filed a lawsuit against AHCCCS over potential violations of state campaign laws.

The e-mails show that the government agency, with direction and support from the governor, made significant efforts to organize meetings and calls with potential supporters of an opposition campaign and crafted the controversial “unintended consequences” memo as a tool to give to opponents of the measure.

dont believe it for a minute


You say "We can’t just sit around and wait for the same people – from both political parties -- who brought us things like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a broken and porous national border, Hurricane Katrina relief, huge budget deficits, etc. – we just can’t sit back and wait for them to take over our personal medical decisions" --

but it wasn't people from both political parties. It was Republicans. Specifically conservative Republicans.

People who loathe government and believe it can't do anything right -- then get elected -- are pigs scarfing up the public money and putting it in their own pockets and their friends/contributors' pockets. That's why we have the mess we have. Please read THE WRECKING CREW.

Initiative Coverage


Len, like you I support freedom and less government. I am wonding why we are not seeing more information on the inititiaves.

I'd like to see more information on Prop 201 -- it is BIG Government run amuck. More trial lawyers, less choice for the consumer, more government. Sounds like a Kennedy plan to me.

Take a look at this video --

http://www.stoplawsuitabuseaz.com/video-center/no-on-201-commercial

Why aren't we seeing more on this one?

10/08/08 12:01 pm

YES on 101


Proposition 101 would protect an individual’s choice to pursue private health care coverage. It would also prevent fines from being levied on individuals who decline health care coverage. Proponents believe that the “Freedom of Choice in Health Care Act” would avoid the impositions on personal freedom that are common in socialized health care systems. www.yeson101.com

Correction...


That last comment was directed to "Dudefish" whose subject line was "Muns-ill." My mistake.

10/06/08 3:07 pm

That's real intelligent,


That's real intelligent, Muns-ill. And you want to be taken seriously? Try presenting an argument and not an attack.

10/06/08 3:05 pm

Muns-ill


Hahahahahaha. Conservatives support choice. Hahahahahahaha. I can't believe a web site that wants to be taken seriously gives this wanker a voice.
