“I think you’ll hear states and governors standing up and saying ‘no’ to this type of encroachment on the states with their healthcare. So my hope is that we never have to have that stand-up. But I’m certainly willing and ready for the fight if this administration continues to try to force their very expansive government philosophy down our collective throats. It really is a state issue, and if there was ever an argument for the 10th Amendment and for letting the states find a solution to their problems, this may be at the top of the class. A government-run healthcare system is financially unstable. It’s not the solution.”
–Governor Rick Perry [R-Texas]

Well then, Mr. Perry, how about you stand up tell us how you intend to solve the problem that 1 in 4 people in Texas don’t have health insurance and don’t get healthcare? That’s more than any other state. It’s not a new problem. We’ve had this problem for ages, and I haven’t heard anyone in our state government suggesting anything to get people insured or can get affordable healthcare. Why not? Because they just don’t give a damn. They got theirs, so f*ck the rest of us that don’t.

So Perry, what’s your solution to the problem? Ignoring it and hoping it goes away on its own?
