The Jon Caldara of the Independence Institute of Golden has proposed a ballot question that would create a new Colorado Constitution Amendment that would allow for Coloradoians the right to "opt-out" of any federal health care plan that is approved.
Mr. Caldara said mandating all Americans to have health care insurance is a violation of states’ rights. That “The citizens can decide to speak up and say no to Obama care,” Caldara said. “Colorado is defending itself from an unfunded mandate from Washington, D.C.”
What a novel concept: using the Constitution when we draft legislation instead of some political agenda. I hope that this becomes a ballot measure in November, defiantly one that I can support.
