| Bill Schuette, the state's attorney general, advised the state Legislature to ignore federal law on the grounds that a Mitt Romney in November will lead to the repeal of the offending law. The state Legislature say, "Hey, now that's a great idea." Lansing - Gov. Rick Snyder is abandoning hopes of setting up a state-run health insurance exchange system after repeatedly failing to convince fellow Republicans in the state House to authorize the program, The Detroit News has learned. Instead, the governor will pursue a joint partnership with the federal government to create an online portal for customers to shop for health insurance as mandated by President Barack Obama's health reform law, Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel confirmed Wednesday.
I look forward to a day when the state's political media starts picking up on the fact that the state Legislature is every bit as divisive and obstructionist under a Republican governor as it was under a Democratic one when its Republican members don't get their way. Meanwhile, about that advice to wait out the election in which the Kenyan Pretender will surely be thrown out? Obama leads the Michigan native and former Massachusetts governor by 47.5 percent to 42 percent, essentially the same gap he held over Romney in the spring before an avalanche of political advertising began.
By the way, the survey was taken before Todd Akin's comments. In other words, we're moving gtowards a federal-run health care exchange because a candidate for governor cloaked as the state's attorney general told legislators to hold off until they get bailed out by election results that are increasingly unlikely to come to fruition. That must be what the suits call a "win-win." |
