He has publicly stated as much. The problem, however, is that the Democrats' proposed "solutions" aren't solutions, but will only exacerbate the problem and burden our children and grandchildren with an insurmountable debt that will endanger the very future of our country. The Democrats have added over $800 billion to the deficit JUST THIS YEAR--how much government spending is too much for collectivist-minded Democrats?<br /><br />Medicare will be bankrupt by 2017. Amtrak is broke and losing money with each additional passenger. The Postal Service is rife with inefficiency. What makes liberals think that the federal government can make anything more efficient?<br /><br />If being the "party of NO" means being opposed to the nationalization of industries and the takeover of our health care system by the federal government, so be it. <br /><br />Republicans have proposed over 800 bills and amendments this Congress to address the problems in health care--not a single one has been passed by the Democrat Congress.Mark Fahlesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01628893906665668933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876507276015550254.post-229352449440923892009-10-29T18:48:15.187-05:002009-10-29T18:48:15.187-05:00Quite a few state employees, I believe, have state...Quite a few state employees, I believe, have state paid health insurance. So I would expect the governor in trying to balance the state budget would be very concerned about health care reform. Especially how it could reduce the state's costs. And what's the "rationale" middle? Spell-checker won't help you here. A dictionary might. Maybe you can explain the rationale of the Republicans being the party of No.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06439163161627228602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876507276015550254.post-2461290290629808812009-10-28T08:17:26.627-05:002009-10-28T08:17:26.627-05:00But doesnt Gov.

I can only imagine costs of health insurance will come up in the budget session right? I mean at least for the Beatrice families.Jane Fleming Kleebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034446623327573123noreply@blogger.com
