The number of people without health care insurance has been increasing each year for a number of years. Businesses have cut back providing health insurance for their employees, discontinued it altogether or increased their premium share. Many small business people have no health insurance at all. The problem has affected people from every state. The issue is before congress and there are many governors who are in opposition.
So I have a question for those governors who are in opposition. Since the problem is not new, why have you failed to address the problem in your state yourself? After all it is your states problem and you seem to have all the answers as to what should be done. Are you afraid that the answer in part is that some taxes would have to be raised to pay for the legislation and you want no part of that. You only want to criticize others who have the courage to address the situation. Your ideology would have to give way to fact to take care of this problem and you do not have the courage to challenge your warped ideology. It would also mean hard choices for you and your state and you want no part of that either.
Some governors have also lied about the health care legislation before congress and some special interest groups have also done the same thing. If the opposition prevails maybe its time for congress to wash their hands of the matter and tell the governors and states to handle their own states problem without any help from the congress or federal government. That way the governors and states could do the job they are responsible for in the first place. As of the present time they deserve a big fat "F" on the subject.
