Missouri Republican legislators have filed a bill to put a question before voters -- whether insurance companies should be prohibited from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions. The move comes as the U.S. Supreme Court considers a case involving the Affordable Care Act. Show Less

Still pay into insurance, can't stop treatment half way through and insurance coverage is hard enough to get now as a healthy person.

Debbie Baker

It's not our fault that most of our health issues shift into different modes. And besides that they have on medical records that the issue already existed years ago. So, why try and take it from me now.

This should not even be a question. Since it is, it shows how much of a failed state we are.

If they charge us, pick it up. We paid the bill for 10 months with no service.

Max DeYoung

Absolutely. Recycling is good, even if it's being thrown away. Decisions like this, is what has made Columbia what it is today.

Zaos Gonzolez

Recycling shouldn't have to exist. Products should be made to last for entire lifetimes, not single uses.

A local municipality should not hold a monopoly over its citizens. Imagine how many new businesses would start up if trash services were privatized?

Kimberley Brewer

Waste of time & truck fuel to send 2 different trucks every couple weeks when it’s all going to the same place! Just pick up all of it every week with 1 truck. Also, residents want to know exactly which types of our previously recycled materials actually were going into the landfill anyway?
