Missouri votes down health care "reform"


Does not look like the "Show Me State" is going for the "expand the number of insured to drive down costs" argument. Do you really expect any corporation to rein itself in on priciing? Think about what you have seen this last decade and ask yourself that again.

The basic issue is this: the federal government cannot tell you what to buy. Period.

Even at the height of the Second World War when America was fighting for her survival against Nazis and the Japanese, no one was forced to buy war bonds. Heavy social pressure? Yes. Heavy peer pressure? Yes. Legal mandate with the threat of a fine? No. Looks like the Nazis are in the White House.

And we know how that ended.
