How popular is the health insurance mandate in Missouri? This popular
Voters in Missouri overwhelmingly opposed requiring people to buy health insurance, in a largely symbolic slap at the Obama administration’s health overhaul.
The referendum was the first chance for voters to express a view on the overhaul, although turnout in the state was low and Republican voters significantly outnumbered Democrats.
With all precincts reporting, 71% of voters supported Proposition C, establishing a state law that says Missouri cannot compel people to pay a penalty or fine if they fail to carry health coverage. Twenty-nine percent voted against the proposition.
Yes, yes, the turnout was heavily Republican, as the Times attempted to pre-dismiss the other day. Yet, if the ObamaNuts were so passionate about requiring American’s to buy health insurance at the barrel of a fine, something never done before by Los Federales, they would have organized and gone to the poll in droves.
