WHOOP!!!!

Gig ´em !!!

The cowboys cry - ki-yip-pie-yi
Deep in the heart of texas.

Our Governor in Nebraska announced this week: no state exchanges for us. I guess we can still be proud of our Republican governors if nothing else.

Ok, thats all nice and good, but what is Gov Perrys plan? Will he default to the "Let the Fed do it for you" option? Article is lacking in basic information...oh, its AP, figures.

Lest all proponents of government care forget, the poor and uninsured can sign up for Medicaid at the emergency room, so they don´t have to worry about paying premiums. Even if they don´t sign up, medical care must be picked up by the hospital and tacked onto paying customers bills. A large number of people are treated at the expense of charities and charitable hospitals. The fallacy is that Obamacare will change anything. The federal PCIP pool has only enrolled 21,000 patients to date (a factor of 30 less than projections). Expenses are 3 time projection and/or the average cost of state run pools.

Our Gov. Kasich announced the same today. He will not set up an exchange, he will maintain the control of the criteria to qualify for Medicaid, and he will retain all regulatory control of Ohio´s insurance industry.

Take that, you poseur, socialist, whitey-hater!

Sadly, Republican Gov. Susanna Martinez is hard at work setting up the New Mexico exchange.

My understanding was that the bill did not give the Feds the right to set up an exchange for the States. Can anyone clarify?

My understanding is that the state exchanges were just another one of the ways the Obama Administration tried to hide the true cost of the bill. The bill did not require states to set up the exchanges but stipulated that if they did not they would not get medicaid funds. The suprteme court ruled that part of the bill unconstitutional.

Why is this important? Because medicaid is a state funded entitlement. By setting up the exchanges in the states the states had to foot the bill for both their administration and their funding, supposedly with some help from the feds. Every dime the state spent to set up and run the exchanges was off the books for the Obamacare bill.

By forsing the feds to set up the exchanges that cost is now shifted back to the people who forced this down our throats in the first place. And the cost has to be added to the already astronomical tab.

Excellent. Now there´s 29 other Republican governors. Let´s see if they have they huevos to do the same.

I just might buy a house in Texas. May need it here someday soon!

Now, if Perry decide to open a state run bank . . .!!!

@#6: Unfortunately, Kasich will not be governor forever. The next dem gov will institute Ocare immediately. It`s inevitable.

Sadly my state of Colorado, which has been overrun by liberals fron California, has already set up an exchange. Grrrrrrr.......

Wish our TN Gov. Haslam would grow a pair and tell Obama where to go and graphically describe how to get there.

But I am not holding my breath....

Giddy Up! Yahoo!

Go Texas. Lead the way. Texas will be home to the capital of the new America. And I will proud to have Rick Perry as the first president.

Same here in WI. Thanks Gov. Walker !

The Republic of Texas loves you Rick...stand tall.

While I´m not thrilled by all of our Governor´s actions, more often that not he gets it right.

If the states don´t set up exchanges thier citzens defalt into the fed exchange.

Feds manage your health care.

Remember Katrena or how Sandy is working out.
