Election Tomorrow--Issues

State of Missouri

PROPOSITION C

Proposed by the 95th General Assembly

(Second Regular Session) SS SCS HCS House Bill 1764

Shall the Missouri Statutes be amended to:

Deny the government authority to penalize citizens for refusing to purchase private health insurance or infringe upon the right to offer or accept direct payment for lawful healthcare services?

Modify laws regarding the liquidation of certain domestic insurance companies?

It is estimated this proposal will have no immediate costs or savings to state or local governmental entities. However, because of the uncertain interaction of the proposal with implementation of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, future costs to state governmental entities are unknown.

YES NO

These are the questions that all voters within the city limits of Kansas City, MO will see. Our friends in Grandview will have a tax question to consider. Other municipalities also have ballot issues. The country will be watching Missouri for the outcome of Proposition C with regard to health care. A large number of Missourians voting for Prop C may be a barometer of negative feelings towards the health care plan passed by the US Congress earlier this year.
