Issues
Health care
Scott was a sponsor of a resolution created to amend the state Constitution to guarantee “health-care freedom.” He said the proposal aims to head off federal health-care rationing.
“The need (for a constitutional amendment) is that our constituents are becoming increasing concerned as to what may happen in the health-care market,” said Sen. Charles Scott.
The resolution, SJR 3, is one of two joint resolutions that would put a “health-care freedom” amendment to the state Constitution before the voters in November 2012.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has also been considering Senate Joint Resolution 2, a “health-care freedom” resolution sponsored by Sen. Leslie Nutting.
Scott said that his amendment is not aimed at the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in its entirety.[2]
