| Description | JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- A lawsuit attempts to block a statewide vote on Aug. 3 on a measure challenging the new federal health insurance law. The lawsuit seeks to declare the measure unconstitutional because of the way the Legislature passed it. The lawsuit cites a constitutional prohibition against bills containing multiple subjects.
The bill originally addressed procedures for insurance companies to voluntarily dissolve. It was amended to include a section stating that people cannot be compelled to have health insurance or penalized for paying their health bills with their own money. |
