This is how Obama is going to crack everybody. Overwhelming federal dollars that people think falls out of the sky. The money to finance this will come from borrowed money and billions in additional interest payments.

I guess Brewer is too old to be a rising star anymore,so just cave in. She´ll be out of office when the states eventually pick up the tab on medicaid expansion.

The bottom line is states like hers can´t afford the costs of illegals.

There are many things in the Affordable Care Act that don´t work well. Republicans should focus on changing those parts.

Republicans put up the good fight over repealing the entire law. They lost in the Supreme Court, which will only become more liberal in the next 4 years. They lost in the 2012 election - both the Presidency and the Senate. The law is simply not going to be repealed prior to its implementation.

So the best bet is to accept that as reality and work to make it manageable. Offer alternatives for the pieces that simply don´t work...and stop claiming that the whole thing doesn´t work. Parts are already in place and working, such as raising the limit to age 26 for kids to stay on parents´ policies.

#3 states "..Parts are already in place and working, such as raising the limit to age 26 for kids to stay on parents´ policies."

This is why premiums are headed into the stratosphere. It may be working "well" but we are paying for it. Just wait till the rest of it kicks in. No complaining then that it is too expensive because you have welcomed the camel´s nose under the tent.

Sorry. Make that "#2 states" It´s early and I just realized I am the #3 poster!

Like so many of those who are throwing bricks from the sidelines...I suppose NRO would prefer Brewer spite her state and simply refuse to deal with the growing problem of health care.

Get real. O was re-elected and he now holds all the cards.

Our response is to bash republicans. Great, just great!!

Just say NO is not a viable plan for those in need of health care.

et , tu Brewer?

Once again, a politician sells their soul for 30 pieces of silver. I am a vet, love my country, but I am beginning to despise our government.

i see that the rockefellers at the national review are in full swing today. how pathetic and transparent. you need a story about palin to make you day complete.

how is your circulation doing. is beck driving you crazy?

now i see why the NY/DC rockefellers at the National Review have their panties in a bunch today; not enough pork in the Sandy relief bill.

and the republicans outside of the northeast did not voter for it because it had too much pork. go figure.

Even the staunchest fiscal conservative Governor knows that they cannot go it alone on Medicaid. The burden is too much, it will bankrupt their respective state. Unfortunately, Team O knows this too.

I just wish these Governors would get out in front of the message for once and tell their states the truth about the whole mess. Brewers mistake is making negative statements, then taking the money.

A fool after ´fools gold´.
