Stupak retirement shows need for MI Healthcare Freedom Amendment

Rochester Hills – Upon hearing the retirement news today of Congressman Bart Stupak, the Democrat Congressman whose “leadership” ensured the midnight healthcare takeover occurred, State Rep. Tom McMillin (R – Rochester Hills) said, “Bart Stupak’s retirement shows that we need to give our Michigan citizens the ability to take back their healthcare freedom by putting the Michigan Healthcare Freedom Amendment on the ballot and pass it in November. It would allow our citizens to opt out of Obamacare and ensure Washington can’t get between us and our doctors, nor force us to buy something that some may not want.”

McMillin is one of the leaders who launched the petition drive last month to put the Amendment on November’s ballot. McMillin concluded by saying, “I wonder if Democrats who supported the healthcare takeover will claim that Stupak retired because the takeover was wildly popular in his district. No – he retired because that midnight grab was an atrocity and he knew the voters would hold him accountable in November.”
