Weird, Sad … Especially for People

Mississippi Republicans fight amongst themselves over whether to implement a state health care exchange as envisioned by ‘Obamacare’ or force the federal government to impose a non-state-customized one on the state.

The weird thing of course is that the option that keeps more control at the local level is the one that people ‘feel’ like makes you more pro-Obamacare. So the most conservative state officials need to demand the one-size fits all model — basically a parody of conservative grievances about the federal government.
