The general election is less than a month away, and besides the elected office races, there are 11 proposed amendments to the Florida Constitution for voters to decide on.
Bay News 9 takes a look at Amendment 1 today.
The title reads "Health Care Services," and it's the first amendment voters will see on the ballot.
It's more than 300 words long and centers around the controversial federal health care law President Barack Obama signed into law in 2010. It requires 60 percent voter approval for adoption.
Supporters of the amendment argue that it isn't government's place to tell people they have to purchase health insurance. But there is plenty of opposition.
USF health law professor Jay Wolfson said the amendment is an attempt to get rid of a major part of the law - the section that requires some to pay if they don't buy health insurance.
"Amendment 1 says Floridians do not have to buy health insurance, and no one can make them do it," Wolfson said.
By choosing "yes" on the ballot, voters would be saying the government should not make them pay for a health care plan. And a yes vote means that should be spelled out in the Florida Constitution.
"If people vote yes, they are saying, 'yes, we want the Affordable Care Act not to count in Florida. We're basically nullifying a federal law,' " Wolfson said.
By choosing "no," voters would be saying they don't want the amendment wording included in the Florida Constitution. A "no" vote means voters want to keep things as they are.
The amendment, if it passes, may not have much of an impact. Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld that portion of the federal health care law and ruled that people can be penalized for not buying insurance. The state can't overrule the Supreme Court, even with an amendment.
Still, Amendment 1 gives voters an opportunity to take a stand.
