\"\"<\/a>The SC Senate has placed S. 836 on special order. S. 836 allows SC to enter into a compact with other states to avoid Obamacare. Objectives of Health Care Compact:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tTo organize the states to reassert sovereignty and challenge the assumption that Washington knows what is best on health care policy matters that affect SC citizens.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tTo force a conversation on health care and break the health care monopoly in DC<\/p>\n

\u2022\tTo provide a non-partisan alternative to the current system. The Health Care Compact pre-dates ACA and is 100% non-partisan<\/p>\n

CONSTITUTION BASIS FOR HCC: Section 1, Article 10 of the Constitution explains interstate compacts and provides that Congress must approve these compacts<\/p>\n

When HCC is approved by Congress, it will: <\/p>\n

\u2022\tGive states the authority and funding for all healthcare programs with the exceptions of Indian Affairs and Veteran Affairs
\n\u2022\tRe-establish state sovereignty over health care (interstate compact trumps federal health care regulation)
\n\u2022\tNot force any state to act. States have the ability to implement or not implement. A state may leave compact with 6 months notice.<\/p>\n

HCC PROCESS<\/p>\n

\u2022\tPhilosophical Step\u2014Do you agree States should be partners in solving health care problems? No fiscal impact. Helps build a critical mass of states to force a conversation with Congress on health care.
\n\u2022\tCongressional Approval\u2014This will give states the final parameters of compact approval so they can make informed decisions on whether to proceed.
\n\u2022\tImplementation\u2014State legislature plans, designs, and implements healthcare programs at the state level <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
