House Bill 2179, sponsored by Rep. Curt Schroder (R-Chester/Delaware), would enable Pennsylvania citizens to reject federally mandated health care and maintain control of their health care choices.

Schroder’s bill proposes to amend Pennsylvania’s constitution, enabling citizens to reaffirm their right to make their own health care decisions by putting the question to the voters at the polls.

Schroder said HB 2179 would stop the federal government’s proposed takeover of health care at Pennsylvania’s borders and it would prevent a similar government takeover of health care at the state level, such as the single-payer system that has been introduced in the Pennsylvania House. 

At a recent rally at the state Capitol, Schroder made the following statement:

“House Bill 2179 would protect the freedoms and liberties of Pennsylvania residents from massive federal government intrusion by putting health care decisions back in the hands of the citizens.  My bill would do this by amending our state constitution, effectively removing the hand of the federal government from our pockets and ensuring the rights of Pennsylvanians to choose their health care plans and providers.  The power in these decisions rests with the people.  We are the last line of defense against ObamaCare and other state schemes to take over health care.  We will safeguard our health care freedoms and choices and we will stop this massive government intrusion at our borders.”

HB 2179 is pending in the House Insurance Committee.
