Plain-speak on Proposition C

Bates County Live has been talking with local folks to get a feel of whether or not there is an understanding of how Proposition C works. For some, there has been understandable confusion; others quickly voiced their opinion; for those who are still unsure, here is how your vote will count:

A ‘yes’ vote will amend Missouri law to deny the government authority to penalize citizens for refusing to purchase private health insurance or infringe upon the right to offer or accept direct payment for lawful healthcare services. The amendment will also modify laws regarding the liquidation of certain domestic insurance companies.
A ‘no’ vote will not change the current Missouri law regarding private health insurance, lawful healthcare services and the liquidation of certain domestic insurance companies. If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes, according of verbiage on the ballot.
 

In short, a YES vote will say no to government run health care in Missouri.

While Kansas City conservative radio talk show hosts urge voters to mark "Yes on C, screw D.C", as to keep Government run health care at bay, others feel there is a very strong need for some type of health care reform while national health care coverage may not be the best way, but its a start.
For those without health insurance, Government run health insurance may be the only answer.
