Arizona has an amendment to their State Constitution that prohibits any individual mandates in health care. I really like it. Some are speculating that this will actually exempt Arizona from any socialized medicine coming out of DC.
I hope it does. And I hope Utah can get on that band wagon. If so, maybe this becomes the Kelo Effect. That is the horrible US Supreme Court decision in which government can take private property from person A and give it to person B if they feel person B will use it in a way that would increase property taxes. H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E!!! The result is that virtually every state legislature (both Republican and Democratically controlled ones) passed laws that nullified Kelo.
Maybe Arizona is leading the way and we can dump Obama-care as a last resort. Constitutional law has long held in many areas of transaction and commerce law that States can trump the Fed. Not often used but when it is SCOTUS has sided with the State.
You go Karl Wimmer.
No comment on the other ones. Haven't even followed them.
Wimmer closest thing to a dictatorial communist i've ever met.
Mr. Wimmer is an idiot and does not represent me. If you want to conduct drug testing before you can get food for your child, I suggest we conduct some intelligence tests before you can run for the legislator. It is preposterous to spend thousands of dollars drug testing people so they can eat. When was the last time we drug tested someone before they drove on public roads, used the library, called the fire department, went to a free clinic, sent their child to school. This is just more crazy talk from the crazy talking rightwing, religous nutcases that seem to abound here. Makes. Me. Sick.
"Carl Wimmer will "SOON" be looking for a new Job outside of Utah very shortly".
We have to many people here in Utah that need to have the "SELECTION"or "FREDOM OF CHOICE" of which Health care package they want and "NEED"
The Word Here Is "SELECTION" or "FREEDOM OF CHOICE"For those of you that don't want a "SELECTION"or "FREEDOM OF CHOICE stay with what ever works for you,but don't walk on the rights of those that want "FREEDOM OF SELECTION"
See you around the Stock Yard Carl.
And as for Arizona it already has the nation's worst Health Care System and High Taxes.
People don't want to live there anymore but they are to POOR to Move out of the state.
ANY STATE THAT WILL NOT GIVE THE PEOPLE THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE WILL SEE A LOT OF NEW FACE'S ON CAPITAL HILL NEXT ELECTION DAY.
THIS IS ABOUT "FREEDOM OF CHOICE"FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES."THE PEOPLE WILL WIN THIS FREEDOM OF SELECTION AND OF CHOICE"WE HAVE LOST MOST EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS COUNTRY,"BUT NOT THIS FREEDOM OF CHOICE" "WAIT AND SEE"
What a clown. Wimmer definitely leads the league in stupidity statistics.
Carl, keep up the good work. I support you 100% on these issues. It's not right that the hard working, honest tax payers pay for food and other things for those who are breaking the law.
Wimmer, you need to find out what nonesense you are sputing. Utah, being the backward, prdominately republicans want to do eveything possible,whether right or wrong to fight the Dem health reformThe
gov backed plan has worked for many years, will continue to work for many more. I know I was in such a plan for 30 years.IT IS GOOD!!!!
As for the rest of your bills,RIGHT ON.!!!
I am amazed at how many liberalies there are even on this forum. Welfare is wrong period. Why is it my responsibility to feed you? It is wrong for the government to take from one person and give it to another. I am very supportive of this law.
As far as the federal health care bill goes. if you want socialist medical care, move to Cuba.
Your post only proves your absolute ignorance and inability to use words correctly. A Communist would SUPPORT national health care. A Communist SUPPORTS reditributing our dollars for welfare. A Communist SUPPORTS a large national government. Everything proposed above, is the antithesis of communism. Oh sorry:
Antithesis, noun, 1. opposition; contrast: the antithesis of right and wrong.
2. the direct opposite (usually fol. by of or to): Her behavior was the very antithesis of cowardly.
If you want a government run by a religion - MOVE TO IRAN!
Wimmer is the least effective member of the legislature. I guess some people want to know which poses he will be making for his "Legislators Revealed 2010 Calendar" but the market for that is limited.
John 3:37p.m Utah government is run by a religion so we don't have to go to IRAN. Please tell me the difference of the Taliban mentality and Pushy Mormon mentality when it comes to Utah State Government. What happened to their own teachings of free agency what I now see is control and much selfishness
