Wait. How do State voters expand a Federal Program?
This is the third time in a row that the communists/socialists have used a low-turnout election to pass an amendment to the Missouri constitution. The state should have require the same margin to pass a constitutional amendment as the federal government but, no, they let the leftists pass this crap with a simple majority which is easy when Soros and his ilk drop 20 - 30 million to buy votes.
Some of the blame can be placed on the Sec State who lets these ballot issues be put on secondary elections when turnout is low. This is an unfunded mandate that will curtail a lot of important programs.
The unfortunate part is the amount of time required for reason to overcome the emotions of the fools who willingly work hard to underwrite the sloth of many.
I voted no, so don’t blame me.
Thank you George Soros.
There’s a cap in healthcare in MO. If a family of four makes $24k a year, which is common, since one income families are still a thing here. The obamacare “marketplace” tells them they’re too poor and directs them to MO Medicaid. Mo Medicaid then tells them they make too much. IF your employer provides health insurance, it will be with $5-10k deductible OR cost you half your pay for a lower deductible.
It was not the loafers that voted for this. Most of them don’t even vote. It was the poor working class, of which there are many in MO. There’s no industry here and most jobs are $8/hr.
Blame it on John McCain for his thumbs down on the repeal or the fedgov congress that voted on obamacare without even reading it in the first case.
Was there some hanky panky voting going on in St Louis or KC? Probably so but there are a lot of poor people here that aren’t stupid, however, they know nothing of the whole marxist march through our systems. They just know that people of the same income level, in most other states, have some kind of health care. I’m talking of people who go to church every Sunday and deer hunt every year to put food in the freezer.
