Rep. James Lankford brings up Obamacare opt-out bill
Harry Reid isn't going to like this one, but this will be a reality when the Senate goes to the GOP in 2014
“The Health Care Compact is a way for states to protect their residents from the top-down, one-size-fits-all health care ‘solutions’ that have been imposed from Washington, D.C., including Obamacare,” Mr. Lankford said. “The compact transfers health care decision-making authority and responsibility from the federal level to members states.”
The member states can then choose to “implement their own health care systems without interference from federal bureaucrats,” Mr. Lankford said. And they can do so using funds at the federal level that have already been “collected and spent in their state,” he said,
Eight states have signed on to the Health Care Compact — Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, Missouri, South Carolina, Indiana, Texas and Utah. Another 12 states are considering the measure

I'm surprised no one is interested in this growing compact.

It's a cool idea but it's DOA.

Not necessarily. Is it as DOA as legalizing weed?
