  • who is president?
  • can we smoke weed now?
  • marriage equality?
  • but what about...

Nobody seems to be making too big a deal about healthcare:


  1. Alabama 96% Reporting
    Yes 59.1% (No 40.9%)
    Mandatory health care coverage rejection:
    Would prohibit any person or employer from being forced to participate in any health care system.
  2. Missouri 95% Reporting
    Yes 62.1% (No 37.9%)
    Health care exchange ban:
    Would prohibit the creation or operation of state-based health insurance exchange except by vote of people or legislature.
  3. Montana 24.7% Reporting
    Yes 64.1% (No 35.9%)
    Mandatory health insurance rejection:
    Would prohibit state and federal governments from requiring the purchase of health insurance or imposing any penalty for those who do not.
  4. Wyoming 96.0% Reporting
    Yes 77.0% (No 23.0%)
    Health care amendment:
    Would reserve health care decisions of residents, allow them to pay for any health care and give the state legislature authority to regulate health care.
  5. Florida 97.9% Reporting ***
    No 51.6% (Yes 48.4%)
    Mandatory health insurance rejection:
    Would create an amendment to the state constitution to prohibit laws from requiring a person or employer to purchase health care coverage.
  6. Pope Benedict XVIStatement from 2010Access to adequate medical attention, the pope said in a written message Nov. 18, was one of the "inalienable rights" of man. [...]

    "The care of man, his transcendent dignity and his inalienable rights" are issues that should concern Christians, the pope said.

    Because an individual's health is a "precious asset" to society as well as to himself, governments and other agencies should seek to protect it by "dedicating the equipment, resources and energy so that the greatest number of people can have access."

    "Justice requires guaranteed universal access to health care," he said, adding that the provision of minimal levels of medical attention to all is "commonly accepted as a fundamental human right."
***Florida: Sure, they seem to be ok with health coverage being guaranteed, but probably in support of re-electing obama too? At this point, some of the florida state election board officials haven't reported in yet / the presidential votes could still theoretically flip to favoring romney at this point.
