Ohio to vote on Obamacare

8/2/2011 - This fall voters in the swing state of Ohio will vote on the individual mandate in Obamacare. If passed, the Ohio constitution would ban any government from requiring health insurance. Arizona, Oklahoma, and Missouri have already passed similar legislation amending their state constitutions. However Ohio would represent the first state that Obama carried to include this in their constitution. This would complicate Obama's efforts to carry Ohio in 2012.

Missouri rejects Federal Health Insurance Mandate

Yesterday Missouri voters overwhelmingly passed Prop C, The Healthcare Freedom Act. Prop C is modeled after Virginia's Healthcare Freedom Act, which is challenging Obamacare's individual mandate in Federal Court. The first direct vote results in 71% of the public voting against Obamacare.

Missouri joins Idaho, Louisiana, Utah, and Virginia in passing legislation protecting citizens from Obamacare's unconstitutional individual mandate. This is an example of nullification, i.e. when a state declares an unconstitutional federal law void and inoperative in that state. Arizona and Oklahoma are voting on a similar ban on Federal health insurance mandates this November.
