Once again, there are more questions regarding ethics and Jim Black. Apparently a number of chiropractors gave him cash in return for slipping a provision in the law that would lower co-payments on chiropractic treatment.

The law was slipped into the appropriations bill by Jim Black personally. The provisions he added were not debated by the state House. And after it passed, the chiropractors then paid off his bribes.

The provision forces insurance companies to pay more out of their pocket by forbidding them from asking individuals to pay for services. Instead, the government should be allowing insurance companies to set their own rates. Because of this action, everyone else that does not use chiropractor services MUST pay more for their own insurance.

This is exactly what drives insurance costs up -- forcing people to pay for services they do not want or use. This is not a free market where people can band together and join their funds -- this is government forcing people to pay for services they do not want or receive -- and it's wrong, never mind the ethical considerations of the cash bribes to Jim Black.

However, since the D.A., the Board of Elections, and the governor are all Democrats and Jim Black supporters, don't look for anything to come from this. Jim Black is clearly above the law in all matters.

Jim Black and his fellow Democrats need to be removed from the control of the North Carolina House. The sooner they are removed, the sooner freedom in North Carolina can expand.
