which hasn't exactly been widespread blockbuster success. It would have to improve greatly from what I have seen and went through prior to my current situation. My wet finger to the wind tells me Mike Pence put his to the wind and decided prevailing indicators where that he *needed to do something quick (anything, really) to give the appearance of being substantial, without actually being so.
You see, he's just itching to run in 16, not later. He has been since he took the Governor's office just a mere 15 months ago. In that 15 months he has made absolutely no waves, he has run a VERY low-key administration thus far. So low-key one might wonder if we have a state government but for the fact that Pence almost tripped over his shoelaces rushing to the radio and tv microphones a couple of times this year for snow emergencies.
"As commander-in-chief of Indiana National Guard" he emphasized repeatedly during his tv talkfests- you could almost see the wistful gleam in his eyes through the radio as he made his proclamations with strong, commanding yet fake voice whilst dreaming of the oval office. I really don't expect this HIP thing, with the program already largely a dismal failure, to have the impact Obamacare mandates, and I really don't see how they can make it so.
(Remember, under my theory Pence doesn't give a sh*t about actuality, only about seizing this opportunity to beef up his relatively thin bone fides, and quickly. I hope and pray that the officials in the Obama administration will entertain the state's request with a critical eye, require actual documentation, not let them have any loopholes whatsoever. But that's just me, and I could be full of it. ?
