Missouri (AFP-MO) today announces that Steve Tilley, Speaker of the Missouri House, will join the March 27th “Hands off my Health Care” rally at 11:30 AM at the Missouri Capitol. Other speakers will include Dr. Milton Wolf, practicing physician and President Obama’s cousin, Lt. Governor Kinder, and other members of the state legislature.
“We are very happy that Representative Tilley is joining our rally and making clear his support for health care freedom” said Patrick Werner, State Director for AFP. “We hope his presence will encourage the rest of the Missouri House to quickly pass SB 464 and help prevent Obama's health care takeover from coming to Missouri.”
The Missouri House will hold a hearing at 12 PM on SB 464, legislation which would require statutory authorization and submit for voter approval any proposal to implement a health insurance exchange in Missouri.
“Now, as the Supreme Court hears oral arguments on the constitutionality of Obamacare, Missourians will gather one more time to let their voices be heard,” Werner explained.

The Missouri Hands off My Health Care rally is being held in conjunction with a rally at the U.S. Capitol, organized by Americans for Prosperity. The rally at the U.S. Capitol will be simulcast at the Missouri rally. After the rally AFP-MO will lead attendees to the capitol to lobby their legislators in support of SB 464, legislation which would prevent Missouri from implementing a health care exchange without statutory authorization and submitting the legislation for voter approval.
Missouri was the first state in the nation to publicly reject Obamacare when the state legislature in August, 2010, overwhelmingly voted to exempt Missouri from the insurance mandate in the new health care law. While Missouri was first in its opposition, it has not been alone. Thousands of waivers have been applied for, and awarded by the Department of Health, exempting unions and corporations from the new health care law.
