I’m FAR from being a Rick Perry fan, but he’s starting to look very wise by staying as far away from Obamacare as humanly possible.
But that’s not to say that Texas is home free. Even though Republicans have a majority in the House and Senate, some of the major committees are headed by Democrats - Dewhurst and Strauss’ doing. One of those committees is pushing for an expansion of Medicaid. Democrat Chairman is from an area close to the border and are using a Republican on the Committee to try to sell the bill.
Lots of chicanery going on. This year’s session is winding down but there will be a flood of bills hit the last couple of weeks - kind of SHTF time.
