MO Republicans won't pass health insurance exchange because it is supported by President Obama

Health plan on Mo. ballot, no matter court ruling

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — No matter whether the federal health care law stands or falls before the U.S. Supreme Court, Missouri voters will get to register their opinions this November on whether the governor should be allowed to set up an online marketplace for patients to shop for insurance policies.

It will be the second time in two years that Missourians may cast a largely symbolic vote related to the health care law signed by President Barack Obama.

...State Rep. Chris Molendorp, a Republican who runs an insurance agency in Raymore, had sponsored legislation in 2011 that would have created a state-run insurance exchange. It passed the House but died in the Senate under opposition from some Republicans who didn't want to pass anything that could be viewed as endorsing Obama's health care law.

Even something they have asked for repeatedly, they won't vote for just because it was in the ACA. If their guy had come up with it they woudl be all over it. That's the beauty of the ACA. While not perfect it is definitely going to help a lot of people, and points out over and over again the Republican hypocrasy.
