Ensuring health care access for 42,000 hardworking South Dakotans is good for them and their families, good for their employers who need them more than ever, and good for the economic progress of this state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The voters of South Dakota decided not to approve Initiated Measure 27 on Tuesday.
