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.
