As a longtime opponent of government-controlled health care, I was pleased to see Missouri send an overwhelming message to Washington that hard-working folks in the Show-Me State do not want the bitter pill known as Obamacare forced down their throats.

Seventy-one percent of Missourians rejected Obamacare at the polls on August 3rd. This result came as no surprise to me or the people of the 9th Congressional District.

For more than a year, the majority of the people who hired me as their voice in Washington have been telling me that they do not support government control of health care. It is gratifying to see the rest of Missouri join our chorus.  Missourians understand that Obamacare will raise their taxes, increase their health care costs, while adding to our national debt that simply hurts our seniors, families and small businesses.

I can only hope that those in charge in Washington will finally hear the message that the Show-Me State! is sending them, and that message is spreading across the nation.
