  • ALEC Members
    July 29, 2009 The Honorable Harry Reid The Honorable Nancy Pelosi United States Senate United States House of Representatives 522 Hart Senate Building 235 Cannon House Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi: We are writing to reiterate our concern with recent federal health reform efforts—particularly, the Medicare-modeled “public plan” and a national health insurance exchange—which we believe would trample states’ rights and lead Americans down the road to single-payer health care. The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) represents more than 1,800 state legislative members. ALEC is the nation’s largest nonpartisan, individual membership association of state legislators. Approximately one-third of all state legislators belong to ALEC, in addition to 78 ALEC “alumni” in Congress and more than 300 private-sector companies, national trade associations, and nonprofit organizations. The 167 undersigned members from 41 states are state legislators who chose to take an additional individual stand against the public plan and national health insurance exchange. In May, ALEC’s lawmakers approved the Resolution on Preserving States’ Rights Regarding Federal Health Insurance Exchanges and a Public Plan (attached), which deems the public plan anti-competitive and invokes the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in calling the national health insurance exchange a “federal takeover” of the states’ role in regulating health insurance. As a representative to such a broad coalition of state interests, ALEC questions the wisdom and practicality of the public plan and the national health insurance exchange. Our concerns include: * The public plan will not be competitive.
