Do you live in a state where the legislature has passed or proposed an opt-out to HCR?

What are the reasons the legislatures are giving for that? What are the local media saying about it? What, if anything, are your neighbors saying about it?

1. No, in Texas I think they're just going to try to secede from the Union.

2. our republican-dominated legislature is working on it.

unconstitutional - nothing - nothing

3. And it's the Republicans doing it?

Just being dumb symbolic Republicans and not even causing a stir in the media or among voters?

I hate Republicans.

11. the effort is headed up by our repub atty gen'l, bill mccollum,

who is running for governor. our repub legislature is typical for repubs . . . hard right ideologues of the jebbie mold.

4. I think Idaho did. I didn't see any details on it yet. After HCR

passes, I'm sure I'll find out just what all will be involved. I'm lucky and have pretty good coverage from my employer now. I work for a company based in Washington state and live in Idaho.
I live right on the state line and it wouldn't be that big of a deal to move to WA if there were some advantage to doing so.

5. Virginia just got a Republc Governer

. and our AG is batshit crazy, so ..... Maybe?
I might have to move.

8. Your state is schizoid.

Really split in personality.

What are people saying about it. Are they saying it's just an empty stunt, typical Republican blowing-hard?

6. My state is working on a single payer plan.

It actually looks promising as it has bipartisan support. I am shifting my efforts on health care reform to the state level since I see little hope on the national level for meaningful reform.

7. Pennsylvania is working on that?

:applause:

[PA Democrat]

9. What is amazing is that of the Senate Bill's 30 co-sponsors, 11 are Republicans!

[BurtWorm]

10. Wow! You mean they aren't all evil?

Why can't they act like that in the US Congress? Why do the national ones all have to be assholes? I really don't get it.

12. I live in Atlanta, which is in Georgia unless you're from Georgia, in which case it's not

So it's probably just a matter of time.

13. Yes...

This is also a state where a guy who had his name changed to "Right to Life" is running for governor, and legislation allowing the use of road kill as food was proposed last month.

:crazy: :silly: :wtf: :dunce: :shrug:
