Although Federal law almost always trumps laws voted on within a state, the state of Missouri yesterday showed their strong disdain for the Obama Health care plan. A staggering 71% of Missouri voters backed the ballot measure referred to as Proposition C, which states that the government shall not be permitted to penalize individuals for not paying for Health Insurance. Even though this is more than likely just a symbolic victory for those against the federal requirement that all people must have health insurance by 2014 or else pay a fine, it certainly is a blow to the Obama administration.

Republicans have to be basking in the outcome of this vote as the mid-term elections are only 2 and a half months away. The Health care reform bill was approved earlier this year, giving Obama a key victory for his agenda to have all Americans covered by health insurance. It is very clear, however, that a large portion of the country is against most of the new laws in the bill that was approved.

The fight against “Obamacare” may have just begun, with the states of Arizona and Oklahoma set to have a vote on a similar measure in the November mid-term elections. No matter the outcome of those votes, The President certainly will have his hands full over the next 2 years when this law is scheduled to begin to be implemented.
