Healthcare

Why Wait?

This is almost too crazy to be real:

Earlier this week, Florida State Senator Carey Baker (R) and State Representative Scott Plakon (R) introduced a state Constitutional amendment that, if adopted, would prevent Floridians from enrolling in any federal health care legislation. The language of House Joint Resolution 37 states.

Crazy Rick Perry of Texas also threatened to do something similar.

Hey, I have an idea. Why wait for the public option? If they're really the ballsy wingnuts they claim to be, and they're so opposed to government health insurance, why not propose to ban those other federal healthcare programs: Medicare and the VA?

I'm sure that'd be very popular in Florida of all places.
