http://midwestdemocracy.com/articles/kinder-vows-to-sue-over-missouri-health-care-exchanges/<snip>
The language -- crafted by Democratic Secretary of State Robin Carnahan -- attempts to summarize a measure passed by the Republican-dominated General Assembly that would allow voters to decide whether the governor should be allowed to set up an online marketplace for patients to shop for insurance policies.
The ballot language asks voters: "Shall Missouri law be amended to deny individuals, families and small businesses the ability to access affordable health care plans through a state-based health benefit exchange unless authorized by statute, initiative or referendum or through an exchange operated by the federal government as required by the federal health care act?"
The language was immediately greeted with outrage from Missouri Republicans. Kinder, who sued the federal government in 2010, claiming the health care reform law was unconstitutional, called Carnahan's ballot language "extremely biased."
Seems like these assholes will stop at nothing to deprive people of healthcare coverage. Keep ObamaCare--REPEAL GOPDon'tCare!!

Anyone know who is running on the Dem ticket?
