So things are speeding up.

the show me state will find the same loophole and....

He's always wanted it and I believe Koster would be willing to fight for it, since he's gearing up to run in 2016. It's our legislators who want to keep us in the dark ages.

I'll believe it when I see it.

There's a lot of time between announcing an intent and what the Statehouse actually accomplishes.

Now if I could somehow stop paying so much for Medicare, my split household would be in good shape.

they like it or not.

which hasn't exactly been widespread blockbuster success. It would have to improve greatly from what I have seen and went through prior to my current situation. My wet finger to the wind tells me Mike Pence put his to the wind and decided prevailing indicators where that he *needed to do something quick (anything, really) to give the appearance of being substantial, without actually being so.

You see, he's just itching to run in 16, not later. He has been since he took the Governor's office just a mere 15 months ago. In that 15 months he has made absolutely no waves, he has run a VERY low-key administration thus far. So low-key one might wonder if we have a state government but for the fact that Pence almost tripped over his shoelaces rushing to the radio and tv microphones a couple of times this year for snow emergencies.

"As commander-in-chief of Indiana National Guard" he emphasized repeatedly during his tv talkfests- you could almost see the wistful gleam in his eyes through the radio as he made his proclamations with strong, commanding yet fake voice whilst dreaming of the oval office. I really don't expect this HIP thing, with the program already largely a dismal failure, to have the impact Obamacare mandates, and I really don't see how they can make it so.

(Remember, under my theory Pence doesn't give a sh*t about actuality, only about seizing this opportunity to beef up his relatively thin bone fides, and quickly. I hope and pray that the officials in the Obama administration will entertain the state's request with a critical eye, require actual documentation, not let them have any loopholes whatsoever. But that's just me, and I could be full of it. ?

I think even the Moron Corridor might cave eventually once their GOP governors are convinced their recalcitrance is translating into abysmal poll numbers.

The threat of losing their cushy jobs before they get rich quick will be too much.

What is so interesting is it does not cover maternity care. In res states where laws has been enacted to force births and again they want the births but don't want the health care.

all those unwanted babies. What is the fate of babies born to mothers too young, too poor, in poor health, emotionally unwilling & unable, financially strapped? I guess they want to always have a ready pool of people to fill those ultra-low wage jobs.

I trust Mike Pence as far as I can sling a piano.

This looks like its for show. Healthy Indiana is a very conservative program with much less benefits. If they cared so much, why wait so long to do something?

After all conservatives won't really do something unless their backers get paid for their actions.

to new members!

GOTV!

REPUBLIS!

& OK'd Medicare expansion. The baggers stomped their widdle feet & threatened to hold their breath until they turned blue, lol.

Indiana nurses have lost jobs and considered moving out of state because of this insanity. Hopefully this crisis is over!
