Obamacare denied in MO

Battleground state Missouri held a vote yesterday on Obama's health insurance mandate and the results were stunning. Obamacare went down in a blaze of glory, by the slim margin of 71% - 29%. Plus, 59% of Americans want a complete repeal of Obama's healthcare plan. Will that stop Washington? Glenn has more on radio today. Ref. Source 3

I think I may move to missouri and commute to my work so that I can not be punished for having my own health care that is much better than what Obamacare wants me to have.

Obama Healthcare Unconstitutional

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A federal judge declared the Obama administration's health care law unconstitutional Monday, siding with Virginia's attorney general in a dispute that both sides agree will ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson is the first federal judge to strike down the law, which has been upheld by two others in Virginia and Michigan. Several other lawsuits have been dismissed and others are pending, including one filed by 20 other states in Florida. Ref. USAToday

I agree, but it does seem odd that the government can force your participation in Social Security and FICA, but not this program.

House Approves Bill Repealing Abortion-Funding Obamacare

The House of Representatives today fulfilled its election mandate to repeal the bill that caused Republicans to sweep into office and install a new pro-life majority.
On a 245-189 vote, the House approved a measure to repeal the Obamacare bill that had the federal government essentially taking over the health care industry and putting a program in place that prompted significant concerns about abortion funding and rationing among pro-life groups analyzing the legislation.

Three Democrats joined every Republican in voting for the repeal bill while no Republicans joined Democrats in voting against it, including Reps. Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, Dan Boren of Oklahoma, and Mike Ross of Arkansas. Larry Kissel of North Carolina initially voted for repeal but changed his vote to oppose the bill at the last minute.

Before the vote, the House defeated a Democratic-led attempt to send the bill back to committee, 245-181.

Speaker John Boehner laid out the case for repeal.

"Over the last two years the American people have been discussing the issue of health care. And the number one concern for the American people is the cost of health care - and yet what we see with ObamaCare is an increase in costs to the American people," he said. "The Congress can do better in terms of replacing ObamaCare with commonsense reforms that will bring down the cost of health insurance and expand access for more Americans."

Rep. John Fleming, a Louisiana Republican who is also a physician, noted Obamacare's lack of abortion funding limits.

"One way or another, taxpayer money will help and assist abortions that will occur as a result of Obamacare," he said. "There's nothing that blocks using some, if not all, of that money for abortions." Ref. Source 4
