On May 21, 2010 Missourians for Health Care Choice (pdf) a campaign [issue] committee was established with the Missouri Ethics Commission. On June 21, 2010 the committee filed an amended statement changing their name to Missourians for Health Care Freedom (pdf). When you think about it the apparent aversion to the first choice is somewhat amusing. And yes, they have a website.
They exist to support the August 3rd ballot question (from HB 1764) that asserts our right to keep government out of our Medicare.
The committee treasurer (in both organization statements) is Patrick Tuohey.
On June 28, 2010 the committee received three $5,000.00 contributions:

There’s that word again. Irony impairment alert. Yes, it’s all about that choice you used to have to pay for insurance and have an insurance company deny you coverage. That’ll make perfect sense to a certain percentage of the population.
