BREAKING: Louisiana Healthcare Freedom Act Passes Senate, 28-4

HB 1474, the Louisiana Healthcare Freedom Act, which would make it illegal to force an individual to purchase health insurance, passed the Senate today by a 28-4 vote.

The bill will now go to Gov. Jindal for his signature. Jindal is expected to sign the bill.

HB 1474, authored by Rep. Kirk Talbot (R-River Ridge) passed the House overwhelmingly earlier this month, and survived a 5-4 committee vote last week. Senate President Joel Chaisson attempted to bury it by recommitting it to the Senate Finance Committee, which had earlier in the session killed a similar Senate bill by Sen. A.G. Crowe (R-Slidell), but citizen outrage brought it back to the Senate floor. Today it passed overwhelmingly.

    Obama may, indeed, now have an ancillary motive of revenge and extortion for taking control of and delaying your Gulf spill compensation program.
