"State Senate Minority Leader Roger Bedford, D-Russellville, says the health care law will be an economic stimulus, especially in rural areas, as more people seek medical and pharmaceutical help" LOL

"It is true that Medicaid spending consumes about one-third of the state’s budget, even without the health care law"

The taxes are coming working people.......get ready.

"For every dollar paid by state government for Medicaid, Alabama receives $2 from the federal government. The state has done too little to take advantage of that generous formula." We will receive $2 from a government that's already operating in the red? Sounds like an acceleration on the path to Greece-dom.

And so the redistribution begins...........

you doom and gloomers need to get over it. did the world end when bush was reelected, from a liberal point of view? no. quit being whiny sore losers and suck it up.

I agree James It's time to move on!

They have control of the House and still won't stop. They should rest easy. As long as the GOP has control of the House, they can put a stop to anything Obama wants including any of their own ideas he happens to support.
