So Indiana has the first case of deadly MERS in U.S... I wonder

If they are going to rely on our horrible socialized medical agencies for assistance...
You know the ones that set up Death Panels for Grandma..

Perhaps this tragic event will make people living in such Red States to perhaps think twice about their governors and legislatures who are not accepting Medicare Expansion from the ACA..

In other words, will these people who hate the Fed so much perhaps realize how important such agencies are... Voting against Medicaid Expansion which could save thousands of lives is a good example of such ignorance.. This thing breaks out they surely will feel better if the Feds are involved in the solution. Or will they?

Rather then refer them to all-Americans own Federal benefits that have some medical price controls.

While we have our share of stupid redneck vote against your own best interest fools, some of us just get to try to survive the stupidity the majority votes in. I have lung problems so if I get it I'm most likely dead. So yeah your post bothers me. I'm getting the death penalty for grandma.
