Maybe they should discuss this at their meeting… http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2013/10/tom-davis-south-carolina-gettysburg
Sound and fury signifying nothing.
It is the stated policy of the South Carolina General Assembly that
provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010
grossly exceed the powers delegated to the federal government in the
Constitution.
Except that SCOTUS quite clearly said they didn’t, other than that they cannot force states to accept Medicaid expansion.
The General Assembly of South Carolina has the absolute and sovereign
authority to interpose and refuse to enforce the provisions of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 that exceed the
authority of the Congress.
You refused to enact a state-run exchange or expand the Medicaid program, as per your rights. As such, the federal government will run its own exchange. So, are you going to refuse to allow SC citizens to decide for themselves if they want to sign up for health insurance?
Whenever the Attorney General has reasonable cause to believe that a
person or business is being harmed by implementation of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act and that proceedings would be in the
public interest, the Attorney General may bring an action in the name of
the State against such person or entity causing the harm to restrain by
temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, or permanent
injunction the use of such method, act, or practice.
DING DING DING DING DING! SC will essentially spend big money to fight a bunch of crap in court.
A South Carolina resident taxpayer who is subjected to a tax by the
Internal Revenue Code under 26 U.S.C. Section 5000A of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act shall receive a tax deduction in the
exact amount of the taxes or penalty paid the federal government
pursuant to 26 U.S.C. Section 5000A. The tax deduction allowed by this
section must be used in the year the federal tax or penalty is paid.
Suit yourself, that just takes money out of SC government’s coffers.
No agency, department, or other state entity, including, but not limited
to, the Department of Social Services and the Department of Health and
Human Services, may authorize an employee, contractor, vendor, or any
other person acting on behalf of the department to conduct or
participate in an involuntary maternal, infant, and early childhood
in-home visitation pursuant to Section 2951 of the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and any subsequent federal act that
amends that section or that may refer to an entity or a process
established pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
of 2010.
DING DING DING DING DING! Pants on fire!
But the program they pointed to provides grants for voluntary help to
at-risk families from trained staff like nurses and social workers.
What bloggers describe would be an egregious abuse of the law — not what’s allowed by it. We rate the claim Pants on Fire.

The tax deduction is acceptable, the rest is utter garbage.
SCOTUS also put limits on the 2nd amendment, ergo they are always correct, right?
Interesting,
Whenever the Attorney General has reasonable cause to believe that a
person or business is being harmed by implementation of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act and that proceedings would be in the
public interest, the Attorney General may bring an action in the name of
the State against such person or entity causing the harm to restrain by
temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, or permanent
injunction the use of such method, act, or practice.
Looks like if an employee losses his/her job or has his/her hours cut, the then AG will file suit against that employer.
Is the juvenile misspelling in the original document released by Davis?
I’m guessing Tom Davis is running again and needs money. Cue the fake, pointless, money wasting hearings.
lol…exactly. My first thought on reading this is that Davis should be holding a hearing titled:
“Come cry over the milk we spilled while giving me some money.”
Why are these people wasting their time and the state’s money??? Affordable Care Act is the law of the land – it is NOT going to be overturned. There is nothing they can base anything on right now – other than how bad the website is. Nothing will be accomplished with these “hearings” better known as witch hunts.
kind of like the 2nd amendment. Law of the land,right. Leave it alone.
No one’s touching the 2nd amendment. You’ve been scared into thinking that

Washington Times?
Well how many 5000 would you like bub. You know dam well it’s happening. The Republicrats and the Demlicans both are following the charge of Obutthead. 75% of the people hate the gubmint and they know it. That many people hating you with that many guns is just scary for them.
I know I would sure as hell be wanting everyone to drop there weapons if they ALL hated me. That’s why there holding up Smirks CWP. I keep complaining :)
We could get rid of Obamacare in one fell swoop! Make carrying a handgun mandatory. If you can’t afford one, one will be provided to you by the state.
