AZ Gov. Jan Brewer Also Vetoes Health Care Compact SB 1592
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, April 19, 2011, 5:04 AM
Horrible.
Not only did Arizona Governor Jan Brewer veto the “birther” bill and the guns on campus bill, (She says she supports the Second Amendment?) but Governor Brewer also vetoed SB 1592 last night which directed the Governor to enter into a specific compact with other states on behalf of the State of Arizona. This was a serious blow to conservatives in Arizona.
Yesterday AZ patriot Robert Mayer sent this in its partner legislation SB 1593.
Urge Governor Brewer to sign SB 1593 — More Health Insurance Choices for Arizona Families
The liberal media is foaming at the mouth to defeat SB 1593 – which allows Arizonans to buy insurance across state lines. They are making up lies about SB 1593 because it is a free-market alternative to Obamacare that they want to see defeated.
An article in the Arizona Daily Star claims that SB 1593 contains no regulatory oversight of out-of-state insurers, and that it will repeal all state-mandated health benefits. A Sunday editorial in the Arizona Republic urges Governor Brewer to veto the bill.
Here’s the truth: SB 1593 will increase competition in the marketplace and the number of health insurance choices for Arizona families. It allows Arizona families and businesses to purchase health insurance policies across state lines, and allows individuals and businesses to keep the health insurance plan they currently have when moving or expanding business to Arizona.
SB 1593 creates a level playing field between in-state and out-of-state companies in terms of their regulatory requirements, consumer protections, and policy offerings. It does not eliminate Arizona’s health benefit mandates as the media claims; it simply gives consumers the choice of which states’ mandates they want on their insurance policy.
This is an historic bill that needs your support! We cannot let the liberal media win. The phone calls from pro-Obamacare groups are already pouring in. The country is watching to see if Arizona will pass SB 1593.
Please contact Governor Brewer TODAY by phone at 602-542-4331 and by email at http://www.azgovernor.gov/Contact.asp.
Urge Governor Brewer to support more choice and competition in health insurance that benefits families and small businesses — by signing SB 1593!
Please take a minute and urge Governor Brewer to do the right thing and sign SB 1593 into law.

Were lawmakers not in touch with Brewer ? How do you not know she will veo these bills? Is she being threatened / blackmailed ? Makes no sense to get no feedback from her before bill is signed/passed.
jzaik commented:
WTF? I understand the birther bill, maybe even the gun thing because she said the wording was poor. But the healthcare compact? That’s gravy.
Sarge commented:
The state senate can override the veto, I believe. And hope!
nadadhimmi commented:
Sounds as if Obama is threatening her. She has been intimidated. Just like the Dems to brow beat a woman.
NeoKong commented:
What the hell happened to her….?
Is she pulling a Chuckie Johnson ?
Tim commented:
To reiterate my statement in the “proof-of-Birth” bill post, she has apparently been bought off; another corrupt/inept RINO (Leftist) with an agenda…surprise, surprise….
One can only hope and pray that the good people of Arizona act immediate and start the process for recall. The State Constitution states that any public official (appointed or elected) can be recalled for any reason (Hmm, if only the Federal Government was that way).
She clearly isn’t looking out for the best interests of Arizona or its citizens.
garrettc commented:
It needs to go back to the drawing board. “An early census record” WTH? Any three year old illegal immigrant can pass that test. And why bring baptismal records or circucision records into that test. Totally unnecessary. Just require a state authorized birth certificate and not worry about people living so far off the res that they have no records. Too bad for them, they made the choice. As usual, legislatures think they are sooo smart and ended up blowing a simple task compltely. Epic fail.
navtechie commented:
I think I see the reason this was vetoed. Near the beginning there is an article that is essentailly a nullification order on Obamacare. sneaky dudes.
See “suspend all federal laws, rules and regs”
yeah, that is a federal lawsuit waiting to happen. This is a bad idea to throw in there while they are in the multi-state lawsuit heading to the Supreme court…eventually. take that thing out and I bet she would have signed it.
ONCE AGAIN — they put crap in there that would have ended up in court and thus never to see the light of day while MrPerfect Holder is in the DOJ.
Try again, strike it, and get it signed.
“EACH MEMBER STATE, WITHIN ITS STATE, MAY SUSPEND BY LEGISLATION THE
10 OPERATION OF ALL FEDERAL LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS AND ORDERS REGARDING HEALTH
11 CARE THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE LAWS AND RULES ADOPTED BY THE MEMBER
12 STATE PURSUANT TO THIS COMPACT. FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS
13 AND ORDERS REGARDING HEALTH CARE REMAIN IN EFFECT UNLESS A MEMBER STATE
14 EXPRESSLY SUSPENDS THEM PURSUANT TO ITS AUTHORITY UNDER THIS COMPACT. FOR
15 ANY FEDERAL LAW, RULE, REGULATION OR ORDER THAT REMAINS IN EFFECT IN A MEMBER
16 STATE AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE, THAT MEMBER STATE SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
17 THE ASSOCIATED FUNDING OBLIGATIONS IN ITS STATE.”
navtechie commented:
YIkes. I replied too soon. Hell this bill is an attempt to over-ride Obamacare. A nullification via legislation.
Wow. that takes some balls.
I like it , but it would never have survived until OdeathPanelCare is repealed or struck down.

Tim commented:
NO, she did not, that is what I thought as well and I was pretty pissed yesterday, look at my post at #73, the fraud’s people got the bill changed out of committee,
Things are not as they appear, I’m willing to cut Brewer a break on this, she needs to get the legis. to repass it simple language, as the legisl. of LA has done, then sign it.
Robert Mayer commented:
navtechie — Interestate compacts must be approved by Congress under Article I, Section X of the Constitution. If approved, they take the force of federal law, which means that Congress will be giving the states under this compact the ability to write off onerous regulations related to health care.
Edouard commented:
So much for Brewer. I was behind her 100% on SB 1070. What a profound disappointment she is now. She just lost a LOT of support, statewide & nationwide.
AuntieMadder commented:
Being on the President’s Board of Governors must be very important (and lucrative?) for Brewer. I think I now have an idea why she went from being a celebrated hero of conservatives, fighting to protect and defend her state, to silent and obscure in the blink of an eye.
Steve N commented:
Weren’t these things known BEFORE the election?
She would have been defeated. Imagine what Obama will do if reelected.
Deanna commented:
So this bill is worthless unless other states enter into the compact? Am I reading that right? Yeah I actually am trying to wade through the bill…I guess that’s a novel idea. I believe in getting the facts before Ii criticize…another novel idea I guess.
AuntieMadder commented:

commonman commented:
Use to like Brewer but i guess i’m going to have rethink about that.
Jingo commented:
I don’t know much about her, but she looks to be a John McCain conservative. I.e., Only a conservative at election time.
a former democrat commented:
Pretty much lost all respect for her now.
veto of the guns on campus bill made sense, why would this even be a bill?
I’m willing to even give a pass on the veto of the “birther bill”
But this????? what a load of crock. Next time she comes on Greta’s show pleading for money for that legal fund, she can keep on pleading, I regret giving a cent now to her.
what a liar!
a former democrat commented:
am I missing something? why did she veto this? I’m trying to be fair and objective about this.
Mark commented:
what exactly did Obama promise Brewer on that states immigration problem, to buy her off and to get her to veto all those bills.. is what I want to know.. hummm
ceilsea@yahoo.com commented:
Is Obama going to AZ personally, for what, to give Gov Jan Brewer an ultimatum she can’t
refuse. He is notorious for one on one private talks, all of it should be made public not just what he wants announced.
Michelle commented:
re: BILL 1593: WAKE UP ARIZONA and DO YOUR OWN FACT CHECKING!! Your description of bill 1593 is misleading. This bill DOES allow Arizona residents the ability to purchace out of state insurance (potentially a good thing) BUT IT ALSO REMOVES 32 CURRENT INSURANCE MANDATES FOR VITAL MEDICAL SERVICES. IT REMOVES THOSE MANDATES FOR BOTH CURRENT AZ. INSURANCE COMPANIES AND OUT OF STATE COMPANIES (some of the mandates no longer required are cancer medications, post-natal care and treatment for Autism). OTHER STATES HAVE APPROACHED THIS BY ALLOWING OUT OF STATE INSURANCE COMPANIES TO SELL IN THEIR STATE IF THEY MEET THE STATE’S REQUIREMENTS. The bill the way it is written benefits insurance companies but removes protections for our state’s residents. MIGHT WANT TO CHECK AND SEE WHICH LEGISLATORS ARE GETTING CAMPAIGN FUNDS FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANIES!!!!
Do you know anyone currently being treated for cancer?? What do you think would happen to them financially if their insurance company no longer choose to cover their drug treatments?? Do you think another insurance company would a) choose to insure them and b) cover their drugs if they did not have to?? Can their families afford to pay for their medication out of pocket? Is this really what we want to happen in Arizona????
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO INCREASE INSURANCE OPTIONS FOR ARIZONANS (INSTEAD OF RENDERING THE INSURANCE USELESS) URGE GOVERNOR BREWER TO VETO THIS BILL. THEN GO TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND DEMAND A BILL THAT ALLOWS OUT OF STATE COMPANIES TO SELL IN ARIZONA AND REQUIRE THEM TO MEET THE 32 MANDATES THAT PROTECT OUR CITIZENS. REMIND THEM THEY WORK FOR US, NOT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES!!!!!!!!!
