I have been extremely worried about the upcoming health care issues that are soon coming down the pike. As I was reading through the paper, I came across this article that instantly caught my attention.
It seems that I am not alone in the worries about the heath plan. The House members of Missouri have approved a state constitutional amendment to block a government mandate to buy health insurance. The measure was approved on Tuesday and will no go to the Senate. Republican supporters are trying to “draw a line in the sand” to oppose the federal health care overhaul that would require most of us to get health insurance. The proposed amendment would disallow the penalties or fines from being brought against individuals and employers who opt out of insurance and pay directly for their own health care. Medical providers could also not be penalized for accepting direct payments for health care.
Reading through this article made me want to stand up and do jumping jacks out of extreme happiness. I have been worried about this health plan and how families such as mine were going to be able to afford this mandated health reform. I really hope that the state of Missouri and others to follow all approve this type of amendment. Some of us will breath a lot easier at night.
