You won't get my vote when you try to trick me!
NO! means Yes and Yes means no.
Missouri Senator Jolie Justus, opposed to Prop C, said, "There are times when the good of all of us trumps frankly some of the minority view."
Missouri's House Speaker Pro Tem Bryan Pratt co-sponsored the Prop C ballot measure. "It's the greatest overreaching of the United States government."
It's not just opinions that make the issue confusing but the wording on the ballot is confusing too.
Opponents to Proposition C reversed the meanings of what a "yes" and a "no" means in order to confuse voters at the ballot box.
The Proposition C ballot asks voters if state statutes should be changed so that people can "deny the government's authority to penalize citizens for refusing to purchase private health?"
In other words, if you vote yes -- it means you're opposed to the federal government's mandate to get health insurance.
It means you believe Missourians should be able to choose to go without health insurance without penalty as they do today.
If you vote no -- you agree with the federal government's mandate and believe Missouri should recognize the government's health insurance requirement and penalty.
Missouri Prop C (Obamacare) Heading for HUGE Victory
First state to put the disastrous obamacare to the voters. Pretty good indication where this law the dems and obama shoved down the throats of the American people stands.
More referendums against obamacare are sure to follow.
Half of precincts reporting, Yes on Prop C is @ 75%.
Great news. My friend from Missouri will be very glad to hear this, but I am sure he has already. The Supreme Court will be buried from the cases involving this law for years to come. There is no way that those clowns will get away with that law after all the states that will follow get finished.
It doesn't mean anything, though. It's just going to cost us Missourians money in legal battles fighting the constitutionality of the ballot measure. If you're a Missouri lawyer, kudos to you.

Yes, the SUPREME COURT should review challenges to the law. Not individual states. This is not acceptable.
"What’s certain is that Proposition C is a misguided proposal. Insurers need healthy people in the pool if they are to have the resources to care for sick people. And the cost of treating uninsured patients gets passed on to taxpayers and consumers through higher premiums.
"Missouri has never been a state to coddle freeloaders. There’s no reason to start now."

Golly, and here I thought they were questioning the stretching of the commerce clause that forces people to buy insurance whether they want it or not. I wonder what will happen when the case gets to the SC.
Along with what Virginia did recently I bet old Barack won't be having a very good birthday party tomorrow. And to think his wife left him home with one daughter for his celebration.
