The Missouri State Senate currently has two measures that would target the federal health care law and the leader of the senate hopes those will be among the first debated this year.

In 2010, Missouri voters passed a law that prohibits government mandates for health insurance. A similar bill was introduced in the Missouri Senate, but it's a measure that would ask voters to amend the constitution to prohibit the mandate. Senate President Pro Tem Rob Mayer, a Republican from Dexter, says he supports that bill.

He also supports a bill that prohibits the creation of a state-run health insurance exchange unless the legislature or voters authorize it. The federal health care law forces states to create the exchange by 2014 or federal officials will do so for them.

The Federal Health Care overhaul has been the subject of several lawsuits, including one supported by 32 states, including Missouri.

In March 2011, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said Missouri could face sanctions if they do not comply with the law.  Less than one month later, Koster filed paperwork supporting a lawsuit against the health care mandates.

We want to know what you think about the federal health care overhaul. Should there be an amendment to the constitution to keep the federal government from forcing Missourians to have health care? Should a state-run health exchange be available? What are your thoughts on Missouri's fight against the federal health care bill?
