The thing that's interesting about all these high-profile conservative governors refusing to implement the ACA is that it's only a certain type of governor doing so. In fact, I can list the governors who have publicly refused the ACA (with a little bit of searching): Perry, Jindal, Scott Walker, Mitch Daniels, Rick Scott, Sam Brownback, Terry Brandstand, Denis Daugaard, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley (so far).
In other words, they feel this is the direction conservative thought shall be taking in the years to come?
And yet the state is poor and people are dying and starving.
No, the state is rich and people are dying from being too fat.
Actually it is precisely accurate to say that they are poor and fat. Poverty=obesity. It is a servile condition which causes the citizenry to be fattened like beeves by the corporations.
Such a perverse inversion of prior custom!
