Brownback screwing Kansas again. Its wonderful living in brownbeckistan...not really the idiot

TOPEKA – Gov. Sam Brownback said Thursday his administration won’t partner with the federal government to set up a health insurance exchange called for by the federal health insurance overhaul.

That means Kansans who don’t have health insurance probably will use a federally created exchange, or health insurance market, to compare and buy plans.

Brownback had put off his decision about a state-federal partnership until after the election. Last year, he sent back a $31 million federal grant that would have helped the state set up an exchange.

“Kansans feel Obamacare is an overreach by Washington and have rejected the state’s participation in this federal program,” Brownback said in a news release Thursday. “My administration will not partner with the federal government to create a state-federal partnership insurance exchange because we will not benefit from it and implementing it could cost Kansas taxpayers millions of dollars.”

The Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare, requires people to have some form of health insurance coverage. Part of the act allows states to use federal money to create a state-tailored exchange that suits its needs.

6. or for Kansas

he is screwing a lot of programs and things because of him will get really tight. Course the big money people will benefit, the rest will not and will blame PResident Obama



Pastor sammy believes women should be in the kitchen. Almost every campaign with his wife, she is busy cleaning the kitchen or looking adoringly at her "amazing hubby" a silent call to the men that he knows how to keep his wife in check

4. So sorry for Kansas....

Floridians rejected the legislatures attempt to derail Obamacare here with a constitutional amendment that would have made it illegal to force anyone to have health insurance We had 12 constitutional amendments on the ballot and legislators knew that many of them would be rejected as people became tired of reading the very long ballots....they had printed each full amendment on the ballot in an effort to slow down the voting process (part of why lines were so long here and Miami-Dade had a 10 page ballot) In any case, the anti-Obamacare amendment was listed first and still failed miserably!

5. Here he may have accidently helped you

It is quite possible the federal exchange will be better than the exchange that a small to midsized state could set up on its own.
