Tennessee Lawmakers File Bill to Block Obamacare

State, local governments would be banned from buying health insurance through ACA website


(The Tennessean) Several Middle Tennessee Republicans are taking on the Affordable Care Act, with a new bill that would bar state and local governments — and possibly also companies that do business with them — from buying health insurance through the federal website.

State Sen. Mae Beavers and three House Republicans released a bill Wednesday designed to stop President Barack Obama’s health care reform law by discouraging use of its health insurance exchange, HealthCare.gov.
