For your amusment, my letter to the Az. Star, published today

Seems GOP is afraid Obamacare will work
Now that the Republican-controlled Congress has spent untold millions voting 41 times to repeal Obamacare, and the far right fringe wants to shut down our government to defund it, and the Phoenix contingent wants to spend even more of our tax dollars in court to keep it out of Arizona, you have to ask: What are they afraid of?

If it turns out to be the job-killing, death-panel-filled, socialist menace they claim, it would be the best thing that ever happened to the Republicans since Reagan! With all they have done to obstruct everything Obama has tried to do, you would think they would be giddy at having Obamacare crash and burn going into the midterms.

No, folks, they are afraid it will work and if it does, they won’t be able to suppress enough votes to stay relevant.

They can explain why a prescription that costs me $1.67 in Mexico is $34.00 here in Seattle.
It takes a $175.00 office visit and a script to get it here and it is OTC in Mexico.
Tell me Congress is not helping big pharma rob us blind.

The awkward fact that our Arizona government is being coy about just what IS going to happen with affordable care. There is no information available to the public, at least that I have seen.
