No, the governor panicked after 2014 and ran from it. Not "can't do it". Big difference.


The governor said the state doesn't have the money. that means can't do it. This can only be done on a large scale due to the cost spreading necessary. I would like to say the dems tried and failed in 2009-2010, but that would be a lie. They never intended to do it, and the voters figured that out, and then realized that having huge dem majorities in congress isn't that helpful. Hance the 2010 midterms.

Get to work instead of whining about it not being done for you.


Get to work at what? The intent of Heritage Care was to sink SP. Why do you think a 5-year delay was placed on states to implement their own? It was a total success. We remain with the worst and most expensive "system" in the world, because the insurance lobby owns too many politicians to overcome.

Yes, because the Democratic candidate followed the 2014 plan - run from Obama and be Republican-Lite.


Obama IS republican lite - he brags about it, insults liberals, and favors rttt, fracking, TPP, private insurance, arctic drilling, and prosecuting pot smokers instead of banksters. Is duplicity and "centrism" are big reasons for the heavy losses since 2008

Schumer was not at all a surprise. Nor in any danger of not becoming the next leader. jeff47 Apr 2015 #12
I had thought Durbin would contest the post. Jim Lane Apr 2015 #14
Schumer lined up more support back then, and thus has more support today. (nt) jeff47 Apr 2015 #15
