Refusing the Medicaid money, not building their own state websites, making it difficult for navigators to have places to set up shop, doing everything they can to make Obamacare fail. And when the Fed web site bombed, they were the first to criticize.

In Arlington, Texas, next weekend, my daughter and her friends are holding a garage sale to help a lady whose husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. He was self employed and his business had dropped off, so they not afford to keep their insurance. He was sick, but did not go to the doctor because they had no insurance and very little money. As he grew sicker, his wife had to miss work and this reduced her pay. Now they are losing their home, his cancer is very advanced and they have no money and huge doctor bills. If he'd been able to keep his insurance, he would have gone to the doctor, maybe his cancer would have been treated before it got so advanced.

Stuff like this happening everywhere, not just in Texas.
