Hopefully, SCOTUS will take care of at least some of it on Constitutional grounds.

It doesn't make sense to you because you don't have enough facts yet.

It wasn't so long ago that hospitals were closing due to no business.

Figure out what happened, then it will begin to make more sense. Use your own common sense and not others advertising schemes.

Government involvement isn't the answer. IMO

more polls out on Obamacare, this one from WAPO:

Toss individual health insurance mandate, poll says - Behind the Numbers - The Washington Post

Doesn't sound like its getting more popular. No wonder democrats up for reelection in November just change the subject.

At this point it only matters what the SCOTUS thinks.

Roy Blunt, just like his son who was once Governor, Matt Blunt, hasn't the vaguist idea what he is all about. He certainly doesn't have Missourians' interest at heart, rather, he is there to keep off the unemployment rolls himself. I mean really, who will hire a guy with a master's degree in history, outside the state museum? His political backing is from the Religious right wing conservatives in Springfield, simply because he went to one of their schools, Southwest Baptist University. That should tell you enough of what he thinks of health care and any other entitlements.

The same can be said about Sen. McCaskill. Missouri cannot afford the thousands Obamacare is about to thrust upon Missouri Medicaid rolls. It will break our state and McCaskill supports it all the same. Progressives routinely buy votes with entitlements be they GOP Progressives like Blunt orProgressive Democrats like "Air Claire" McCaskill.

I love that McCaskill add asking her to vote in Washington like she talks in Missouri.
