Rep. Johnson offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 13.
A resolution to memorialize Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Whereas, The 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a violation of personal liberty and strikes at the heart of American federalism. The federal mandate on American citizens to purchase health insurance and on employers to provide health insurance is unprecedented. The President and the Congress have invaded the traditional authority of the states in regulating health insurance within their own borders; and
Whereas, The ACA intrudes into the private relationship between physicians and their patients. The relationship between physicians and their patients is sacrosanct because the physician is serving only the individual patient and is their professional advocate in matters of life and death, health, and well-being. The ACA damages this relationship by creating bureaucratic and financial burdens on physicians and coercing American patients to choose a physician that may not fit their needs; and
Whereas, The ACA imposes unfunded mandates on the states, onerous requirements on individuals and employers, and places a suffocating burden on the physicians of this country; now, therefore be it,
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
