Brownback owes the Kansas treasury $31.5 million. That’s the amount of Kansas’ money he sent back to the federal government after arrogantly and incorrectly handicapping the Supreme Court’s health insurance mandate decision.
The governor’s action leaves Kansans without the groundwork for a Kansas-designed health insurance exchange, which disadvantages all of us in the health insurance market. He’ll also need to borrow a front loader from the Koch brothers to get all the egg off his face. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a governor who makes decisions based on rational thought processes rather than ideology-driven gambles? Way to go, Governor.

Secretary Sibelius and Commissioner Praeger have done their best for us, but a Governor and State legislature hostile to literally everything proposed by President Obama has made sure we will see weakened benefits from the ACA. What a damn shame our state must be a Body Farm for supply-side Jesus political experiments.

Congress Paul Ryan - "because rights come from “nature and God,” not the government."
Look like myself and a few million others have been vindicated......
Health care is a human right after all because by nature humans need health care.

That's not really what this ruling says, or means, I think.
By nature humans need food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc. Are all of those rights as well?
If not, where do we draw the line and why?
