CALL YOUR SENATORS' OFFICES TODAY and tell them you want to see a vote on the "Time Out on Obamacare" Act, bill number S.281, offered by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX).  

This amendment would completely halt the ObamaCare health care nightmare from being implemented pending a final judicial ruling on its constitutionality.  Scroll down, enter your zipcode to look up your Senators and be automatically connected to their offices toll-free!

Talking Points

--ObamaCare is bad medicine for America because it will kill jobs, bankrupt the government, drive up everyone's health insurance costs, put bureaucrats in charge of rationing care, and ruin the world's best health care system. Polls have consistently shown that a solid majority of Americans want Washington to reverse the government takeover of health care and adopt a patient-centered approach. 

--The Obama Administration is rushing to implement this unpopular law in the face of the opposition of a majority of the American public, a majority of the House, a near-majority of the Senate, and a majority of the states, which latter are suing to have the law stayed on constitutional grounds. 

--Since December, two federal district judges, in Virginia and Florida, have declared unconstitutional Obamacare's "individual mandate" requiring all U.S. residents to purchase health insurance (the linchpin of the entire, 2801-page law).  The rulings in these and other cases are being appealed by the Obama Administration's lawyers. The judge in the Florida case made clear that he is effectively ordering the government to stop enforcing the law on the 26 states who are parties to the lawsuit; yet the Administration has indicated it will not halt implementation.

--To avoid wasting more time and money imposing costly burdens on individuals and employers
that may eventually be ruled null and void by a decision of the Supreme Court, Congress should vote on and ultimately adopt Sen. Hutchison's "Time Out on ObamaCare" Act, bold legislation that would impose a moratorium on further implementation of ObamaCare the until the courts render a final judicial decision of its constitutionality.
