Meet in Raleigh to stop HB 115:
The NC Healthcare Insurance Giveaway Act
Rep. Jerry Dockham (R) has proposed an NC Health Benefit Exchange Bill (HB 115) that would basically put the Insurance fox back in charge of the Public hen-house. Where the new national healthcare reform law requires states to set up a competitive health marketplace, Dockham’s industry-sponsored bill (HB115), would give NC Blue Cross a permanent seat on governing board; essentially restrict board membership to insurance executives; and severely limit the board’s power to insist that only high value and good quality health plans be offered. In other words, it would permanently cement NC Blue Cross’ dominant market position and kill any true competition.
Please join us this Tuesday, March 8th at the committee meeting to help stop the Republicans from destroying NC Healthcare Reform.
TIME: 10 :00 am, Tuesday, March 8, 2011
LOCATION: Room 544, Legislative Office Building on Jones Street — behind the Legislative Building at the corner of West Lane and North Salisbury

Rep. Verla Insko is on this committee and I think she will start trying to offer amendments so it would be good to have supporters there.
We don’t need signs, just large numbers and politeness.
