authority to penalize citizens for refusing to purchase private health
insurance or infringe upon the right to offer or accept direct payment
for lawful healthcare services. The amendment will also modify laws

private health insurance, lawful healthcare services and the
liquidation of certain domestic insurance companies.
“If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes.”
