I'll tell you what's gonna happen with healthcare and the GOP [View all]

While GOP Governors are all too gleefully trying to wield their powers by saying they won't implement parts of the healthcare plan there will still be many states that will. I know they are here in Delaware and I've sent details to friends who I know will want to take advantage of it.

What will happen is this - in 4-6 years people who live in the states that will implement the new healthcare plans will be seeing big changes in their life. They will have affordable coverage, they will be able to visit doctors without risking crazy-high costs and they will be happier. And if you're like me you probably have relatives living in those states without healthcare. And those that benefit - word of mouth will get out that the plan is working and they are getting healthy at an affordable rate while those stuck in red states are still trying to make DU with the 'pray you don't get sick' healthcare plan.

That's when the voters will start revolting against the GOP. Rick Perry sure won't implement the healthcare plan but it will be a big issue with Texas voters for the next governor. Eventually you'll see those 'red states' implementing it. I just hope their citizens on the 'pray you don't get sick' healthcare plan survive until then.
