Missouri's Republican-led Senate endorsed legislation Tuesday aimed at preventing the state from implementing part of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

If the bill passes both the House and Senate, the legislation would go before the voters in the November election. Schaaf said voters would likely support his legislation, citing the August 2010 elections, in which 71 percent of Missouri voters cast ballots repudiating a key part of the federal health law that requires most Americans to purchase health insurance or face penalties.
Several Democrats opposed Schaaf's measure, saying said it was simply ceding control of a health insurance exchange to the federal government.
