The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

Passing the Health Care Compact in Florida: A Historic Opportunity to Restore Self-Government and Affordable Health Care

Policy Brief





One promising tool that has enormous potential to retrace the vanishing boundary between state and federal authority is the interstate compact. With the consent of Congress, interstate compacts can shield whole areas of regulation from federal intrusion, allowing states and local communities to reassert their proper role as the primary instruments of self-government. Already adopted in four states, with many more on the way, the Health Care Compact (HCC) will give each state the opportunity to chart its own path in the health care arena, without having to worry about giving up “federal matching funds” that the states have already paid for. The HCC will give states a formal mechanism for working together to roll back federal overreach in health care, and reassert state and local control at the right time and in their own way.
