Rick : Here in Minnesota we have such a state sponsored health program for the working poor. How ever the republican gov. wants to dump 50,000 people off the program, the progressives wont hear of it and both have chosen to shut down the entire state government wile they put there heads up their collective buts in search for enlightenment. I don't think the republicans will be happy until they are stepping over the bodies in the street, and all the money is in one big pile topped by a flag waiving, bible toting, anti reason, imbecile of their choosing. Or so it appearers from here.
