From Missouri Political News Service:
We’ve just learned that the Missouri Health Insurance Pool has just voted on behalf of the state to accept $21 million dollars from the federal government to establish an health exchange here in Missouri. They are designating John Huff as the director.
Didn’t Missourians vote overwhelmingly against Obamacare in 2008 with theirProp C vote? Just like President Obama does all the time, Nixon is taking the executive order route – completely bypassing the legislature.
Original story here. In 2010, Missouri voters overwhelmingly approved Prop C, which negated key parts of ObamaCare. Ordinarily, only a legislature can appropriate funds, even if the funds are from the federal government. Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Informed by sources on the ground that state Senator Jane Cunningham, legislative sponsor of Prop C, and others interrupted the meeting where this action was taking place. The MHIP has temporarily backed down–for now.
