Steve,
First of all the problems that you cite are found predominately in the St Louis and Kansas City metropolitan areas which are predominantly Democratic. The liberal Democrats caused the problem and are the ones that are shipping the money here. How about you let us send you all those problems and their excess babies and you can keep your friggin money. The 4% more babies we have are probably due to the greater number of gay marriages you have where they flat can't have kids. Just like most liberals you cause the problem and then you ***** about it. Believe you me out here in the hinterlands we don't get any of that Commie Massachusetts money and we don't want it. We take care of ourselves. Secondly call Claire McCaskill and tell her she's a conservative.
Ronbo, you're mistaken that you are paying 65% of their first 9 months Cobra. Credits for that 65% are being given to you through your payroll taxes that you pay in. The government is footing the bill on that. I know since my daughter is on COBRA and I set up all of the reporting for Blue Cross here in Kansas City.
