Massachusetts and California are both considering plans to require those states' residents to have health insurance coverage. For example, the plan in Massachusetts would require residents with higher incomes to pay for their own coverage, and state funding would be used to help cover residents with lower incomes. The plan would penalize people without any insurance and charge fees to employers who don't provide coverage. Do you think it would be a good idea to do something like this in Missouri?
