It tackles and give importance to the value of democracy and it gives the people the power to be a part to a certain issue that will affect many people. It is important to have a democracy in order to have the right to choose what is right and what is wrong.

Dave,
Thank you for all the efforts you put into the HCFA. I also appreciate your words and thoughts here, about what we have as opposed to what we had hoped to have! The people now have the opportunity to speak and vote on Obama Care. The country will be watching and that makes it an important referendum. It may also help other states to feel empowered to do the same and even more.
I hope the Show Me State sends a strong and undeniable message to DC!
I also know that we will need to fight next year to put teeth in our effort to defend liberty in Missouri!

The reason that the distinction (amendment v. statute) is important in the first place is to offer an additional reason that the U.S. Supreme Court should strike down the individual insurance mandate. But even if we assume that neither the amendment nor the statute would serve this particular purpose, the amendment is still preferable in that it would prevent the government in Jefferson City from implementing a mandate of its own, should it ever desire to do so. If the only barrier to a state-based mandate were a statute, the General Assembly could merely repeal it or include a “section XX.XXX notwithstanding” phrase in order to do whatever they wanted.

IF the Obamacare bill is upheld by the US Supreme court, will there be any difference in people’s lives re: statute vs. constitutional amendment?
