Republican lawmakers in the Missouri House have voted not to pay for the expansion, drawing criticism that they're going against the will of the people.

The voters spoke their mind about this and its borderline criminal that Republicans in Jeff City continue to openly defy and thumb their noses at the majority of voters and what we voted for. We will see them in Court and they will lose!

THE PEOPLE VOTED FOR IT. SCREW JEFFERSON CITY!

Oooh, are you Angry? Maybe only taxpayers and land owners should be allowed to vote.

Just like the proposed gas tax increase that has been voted down that they are trying to increase and the right to work it is wrong. But if you leave it up to the voters on some issues they can't make an educated decision because they don't speed the time to research what they are voting on.

The citizens voted to expand Medicaid. This is a democracy and the will of the voters should not be overruled.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
