## The Federal and State Implications of Wyoming’s Health Care Freedom Amendment

The amendment will be placed on the ballot in the 2012 general election, and if ratified will provide strong protection of individual liberty.

March, 2011: Last year, the Wyoming Legislature granted the insurance commissioner the power to establish interstate health insurance compacts in [Enrolled Act 61](http://legisweb.state.wy.us/2010/Enroll/HB0128.pdf). This law “recognizes the need of individuals seeking medical and surgical health insurance coverage in this state to have the opportunity to choose among competitive medical and surgical insurance plans that are affordable and flexible.” Following this year’s Legislative Session, an [interim committee](http://legisweb.state.wy.us/2011/Interim%20Studies/2011Studies.pdf) has been assigned the task of responding to federal regulatory initiatives, including health insurance exchanges required under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare).
