Governor Rick Perry millions of under-privileged poor Texans who do not have any Health Coverage will be covered under The Affordable Care ACT (ACA) expansion of MEDICAID!

My Physician wife's practice is partly dependent on MEDICAID and its viability. Please allow the expansion of MEDICAID to occur in Texas under The Affordable Care ACT.

FACT: If states choose to expand Medicaid, the federal government will cover 100 percent of the costs from 2014 to 2016. The feds' contribution will begin to decrease in 2017, but will never be less than 90 percent, under the ACA.

That's why I created a petition to Governor Rick Perry, Texas Governor, The Texas State House, The Texas State Senate, and Governor Rick Perry, which says:

"Please ACCEPT the FREE EXPANSION of MEDICAID under The Affordable Care ACT."

Is there evidence Nate Bell graduated from high school?
Posted by eLwood]]> Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:54:02 -0600 Arkansas Times Perry is Nate Bells hero. The "Texas miracle" doesn't withstand scrutiny as most of the jobs are minimum wage. The other jobs were taxpayer subsidized and dubious @ best (see the $3b cancer center deal)

Neither of these two bios, above, mention anything about Univ of Ariz.
Apparently he attended a summer workshop at U. of Ark, "Lead AR" program.

No, nor do I have evidence that he is a "Founding Member, Regional Coalition of West Central Member, University of Arizona Alumni Association." That statement is on his bio on the General Assembly web site as well as other sites. I sent an email to the Arizona Alumni Association asking if such an organization exists. This response came in yesterday:

Charlie,

For a list of official University of Arizona Alumni Association Chapters, visit http://alumni.arizona.edu/alumni_groups/ch…. If the chapter isn’t listed, it doesn’t exist.

Oh, wait, the Republicans hate the poor women with children, even as they want to force them to go without birth control and give birth.
