Va. passes 1st bill banning health care mandate

MSNBC, 3/10/2010 - (AP) RICHMOND, Va. - Virginia's General Assembly is the first in the nation to approve legislation that bucks federal health care reforms by banning mandatory health insurance coverage. ∴ Without debate, the House of Delegates voted 80-17 Wednesday to accept Senate amendments to a bill that supporters say preserves Virginia's prerogatives as a state. ∴ Thirty-four other legislatures have filed or proposed similar measures rejecting health insurance mandates.
