#1 But, but, but if Temmessee can just hold out. Obamacare will cost us nothing! That's right, nothing at all!

#2 You'ld have thunk if the MSM was doing real journalism they would have checked out the experiment here in TN or in Mass to see how "free" medical actually works. Its been expensive. Far beyound the initial estimates. The previous Repub governer tried to ram an income tax trough in his last year to pay for this. You probably didn't hear about the tax revolt that came to Nashville because of his actions. It shut the city down for a few days and gaurenteed a Democratic victory in the next election.

#3 expensive. Far beyound the initial estimates. That's been the rule for any government-financed health plan, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. OF COURSE the MSM slights that issue, doesn't fit the agenda.

#4 Teen Care went so far as to pay for peoples Gym memberships claiming it was physical therapy. Almost anyone could get Tenn Care at the outset. It didn't work then and it doesn't work now.

#5 The Bestest and Brightest only underestimated the cost of MediCare by 800%. And they were on America's side. So what could possibly go wrong with CommieCare?
