think the federal government will support that? How will the ACA help those families who get the boot? I don't see how a family of four on $40k a year can afford insurance that can cost as much as $1600/mo. That's more than a lot of mortgages around here.

1. It's happening here in Illinois under a dem governor. Our state has no money. It's scary.

2. Did the State ever pay the hospitals the millions of Medicaid dollars they owed them in 2008?....

Payment of which was needed to trigger Federal payments double that amount?


The insurance industry had a stranglehold on Maine, probably still do. It's a wonder any hospitals can survive there.
