Missourians Don’t Like Mandate

As Roger Pilon mentioned, yesterday's Politico question was "Is Health Care Repeal Gaining Steam?" A timely question in light of Monday's court decision allowing a lawsuit against the health care mandate to proceed.

And perhaps an even more timely question today, now that 71 percent of Missouri voters have voted for a proposition to exempt the state from the mandate.

Polls show continuing opposition to the Obama-Reid-Pelosi health care overhaul. It's constitutionally dubious. And now, in the only popular vote on the bill, it received a full 29 percent of the vote. Just maybe this wasn't a good idea.
