President warns Texas that massive resistance to Obamacare implementation will hurt residents

[TexasTowelie]

President Obama said massive resistance from states including Texas has complicated efforts to implement to his signature health-reform law.

“It’s harder,” Obama said at a White House press conference today. “There’s no doubt about it.”

States including Texas have refused to create their own “exchanges” to offer lower-cost health insurance options for uninsured residents. The 2010 health-reform law requires the federal government to create substitute “exchanges” if states refuse.

Responding to a question about Texas and Florida, Obama said the states’ resistance creates additional work for federal officials and hurts residents in those states.

1. Unfortunatley Icky Ricky and his cohorts don't care about the people of TX, only the corporations.

2. Needed: Class action against the State by its own citizens when lawmakers are not voting in the

best interest of the safety and health of the public that voted for them; a breach of promise.

Another public safety issue of life and death (just like what happened in West). The republican platform mission statement is based on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
