Stateline.org Examines State Ballot Measures Related to Health Care
Stateline.org on Wednesday highlighted a number of health care measures that will appear on state ballots in November. According to stateline.org, "Experts say it's the first time that voters are being asked to tackle the country's fractured health care system at the ballot box."In Arizona, voters will consider the "Freedom of Choice in Health Care" measure, under which lawmakers could not pass legislation that would require state residents to participate in public health care programs. In Colorado, voters will consider a measure that would require businesses with more than 20 employees to offer health insurance to workers. Montana voters will consider a measure that would expand SCHIP and Medicaid (Prah, Stateline.org, 9/17).
