H.J.R 11 - Health Insurance Reform

Though I do not agree with the current direction of Health Care Reform, Representative Morley's bill to exempt Utah from Health Insurance Reform is a big time waster. During yesterday's Business and Labor Committee HJR 11 was passed 8 to 4; however the interesting part was the lack of information Mr. Morley presented. When asked how many people are uninsured, he was clueless. In the end he appeared to really know nothing about the Utah Health Care System and instead appeared to have an axe to grind against the federal government. He explained he would rather sacrifice his neighbor's health in exchange for Utah's sovereignty.

If you are going to bring a bill like this to the table; please know what you are talking about. This is a waste of time and not the way to fix health care in Utah or America. Lets try coming up with some ideas on how to improve health care. #lame.

For some more time wasters, read yesterday's Standard Examiner Editoral Page.
