Presented by:    Senator Tim Begalka
Proponents:    RepresentativeStace Nelson

MOTION:    AMEND HCR 1028

c1028ya

    On the printed resolution, delete everything after the first WHEREAS, and insert:

", on March 23, 2010, Congress passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also referred

to as the ACA, through a partisan effort without gaining a single Republican vote; and

    WHEREAS, since the ACA's inception, the State of South Dakota has consistently opposed the ACA due to the adverse consequences it has on the state and its constituents, and numerous state officials have called on Congress to repeal ACA; and

    WHEREAS, on March 23, 2010, the South Dakota attorney general joined Florida and twelve other states in a lawsuit to rule on the ACA as unconstitutional and defended that argument to the Supreme Court of the United States of America on September 28, 2011; and

    WHEREAS, the costs of implementing the ACA total nearly $1.8 trillion over the next 10 years and are only expected to exceed estimates, thus further compounding the national debt. The federal government seeks to offset these costs by imposing new taxes and penalties; and

    WHEREAS, financial impact and overall feasibility remain questionable as phases of implementation remain costly, chaotic, and unpredictable, while contributing to increasing federal regulation and bureaucratic control; and

    WHEREAS, Congress possesses the power to repeal the ACA and its funding souces:

    NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the House of Representatives of the Eighty-Ninth Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the Senate concurring therein, that the South Dakota Legislature urges the state and its constituents to support every effort by the delegates in Congress to repeal and defund the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010."
