Proposition C passes with 73 percent of vote
Missouri became the first state to challenge the new federal health care law in a public referendum Tuesday, voting 73 percent in favor of Proposition C. The proposal aims to nullify a key section of the health care law requiring most people to have health insurance or face a penalty tax.
Early results from Boone County showed that 51 percent of voters rejected the proposition, but totals as of 10:34 p.m. show 60 percent of the area's voters supported it.
Visit The Maneater website tomorrow for an in-depth look at the legal battles the passage of Proposition C could cause and what it means to Missourians and students.

Way to go Missouri! I'm glad *someone* remembers that this O'BarfoCare is not even about healthcare. It's all about gaining control of the US population. It's about power. This should be the start of taking back America. To the rest of America: Let's not let up!

Liberals who say this is necessary to "keep us from having to pay for the uninsured" forget that private hospitals DON'T NATURALLY TAKE IN anyone that comes into the ER! It's because of a 1990s FEDERAL LAW that they have to do it. But these morons on the left act as though it's a natural market thing. come on... Just repeal that law, and this mandate won't be necessary.

BRAVO for Missouri. Dumping this massive encroachment on our freedoms clears the way for doing REAL HC reform; correcting what needs correcting without throwing us all to the Big Goververment lions.
