"The Real Lesson From Proposition C Vote"

From the Post-Dispatch Editorial Board:

In all of the overheated rhetoric that accompanied the health care debate, we rarely heard mention of the reinsurance program, the high-risk health insurance pools being set up in each state or curbs on insurance company abuses and coverage exclusions for pre-existing conditions. Yet those are major parts of health care reform.

So here's the real lesson from Proposition C vote: Like residents of Illinois, Iowa and every other state, Missourians don't want federal health care reform. We want just the parts that benefit us. Which, when you look closely at the reform law, is pretty much all of it.
