Kansas Lawmakers Propose Amendment To Block Federal Health Overhaul



If approved by two-thirds of each legislative chamber, the measure would go on a future Kansas ballot. Voters would decide whether to include in the Kansas Constitution a right for residents to provide for their own health care.

The lawmakers say it's a response to health care reforms being considered in Congress and prevents a federal mandate being placed on states.
