We really do not get the NYTimes down here, you can find it on line, but until you mentioned it was the first time I even heard that bit of information. I also know that down here many citizens are getting angry about not havingur own state participating in this program.
This is one of the redish states you can find, but when you are DENIED health Insurance, and are sick with diabetes, heart disease, or cancer you just want to see a Doctor. At the moment the Health Insurance Company DENIES you coverage because of your pre-existing condition.
Until I hear that you have a better way of treating people with these type of health conditions, I will look forward to the Affordable Health Care Act. But then I was denied coverage for three years and almost died under the Republican answer to everything, which is nothing.
