TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A Kansas Senate committee has rejected
proposals aimed at annulling any federal mandates on health
insurance coverage.
The Judiciary Committee rejected a proposed ``Health Care
Freedom'' statute on a 5-5 vote Friday.
The action came a day after a 4-4 vote doomed the measure as a
proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution.
Supporters' goal is a policy barring the state from requiring
individuals or businesses to buy health insurance or to participate
in a particular health care plan. Proponents believe such a policy
will give Kansas grounds to challenge any federal mandate.
A version of the measure has also been filed in the House.

I guess we will need to do the same to them as we need to do with the DC bunch. Vote out all the incumbents.

The list of those on the Judiciary Committee and how each voted should be published in every newspaper in the state.
