States Ask for Appeal to Previous Lawsuit

Shortly after health care reform was signed into law, Missouri began to fight what it believed was the unconstitutionality of requiring a person to purchase health insurance. In May 2010, the Missouri House of Representatives allowed residents and employers vote on their right to decline coverage.
