Breaking: Gov. Beebe (D-AR) has secretly met with Obama to make Ark a "test case" for Obamacare
Secure Arkansas ^ | 08 MAR 11

Posted on 03/08/2011 4:05:08 PM PST by DCBryan1

Well.. get this... Our Socialistic Governor met with Mr. Obama recently. Our governor has agreed that Arkansas will be the first state to implement Obamacare. Mr. Beebe announced this to the leadership at the Capitol yesterday. He will be changing Medicare by his own power, very likely in April or May. He is clearly on the side of the Socialist. After learning this Mr. Garner will not be presenting his capital gains tax bill tomorrow.

This is just breaking in Arkansas and on the local news. The jist of this is that Beebe has agreed with the Obama administration to become THE test state for Obamacare.

The big question is what is Beebe (D-AR) getting in return? He obviously knows what happened to Blanche Lincoln.

Secondly, Why is the Gov. of the state (that went one of the most red (behind WI)last election ) agreeing to this horrible bill even though the state wants it defeated 70%+?

Right now, local talk-radio anchor Dave Elswick of KARNnewsradio.com is calling for hundreds of people to show up to tommorrow Health committee at the Arkansas State capital. IMHO, it should dwarf what the WI state capital has looked like lately. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

Mass. and W Virginia are already test cases.

Both failures.

There already has been a test, or rather an on-going test of Obamacare. Look at Massachusetts.

But this is how it OUGHT to happen.

Federalism lets the states be their own laboratories. Like RomneyCare. Let them do it and let them bear the consequences.

That’s what’s wrong with Obamacare fundamentally, it destroys the state independence.

Interesting. One suspects that what he gets will be vastly less (or nothing) compare to what he is promised/threatened.

These Dems haven't figured out that Mister Obama's promises to them are no more true than his other lies, eh?

Wrong...state RATS shouldn't collude with socialists on federal programs without the State Leg and Senate, and hell, a "shout out" to the people about his devious plans.

I have a friend in Massachusetts with whom I argue the Nationalized Medicine issue. She was pretty Conservative until her health care plan dropped her when she was diagnosed with a polyp in her colon (before Romneycare). Now she wants Nationalized Medicine because Massachusetts can’t afford their plan alone. I pointed out to her that doing that would require people in other states to carry Mass. health care costs and what do those other states do with their own skyrocketing costs if they are carrying Massachusetts? I said I thought it should be a States rights issue. Any State wanting a Socialized Medical system is welcome to change to it. Then if people don’t want to live with Socialized Medicine they can move to another state. She was speechless.

As an aside, if the Ark. Gov. is doing this, you can bet Obama will cook the books to make it look successful. That is the only way Obama can achieve ANY success with ANY of his ideas. Cheating.

“The big question is what is Beebe (D-AR) getting in return? He obviously knows what happened to Blanche Lincoln.”

What is he getting in return? Maybe you should ask, what does Obama have on him.

This could always be a Clinton setup. Obamacare comes to Arkansas, it fails miserbly to a point of indictments and “Hillary to the Green room please.”

In exchange Bebe gets a spot in the administration.

It went red in 2008, but it also re-elected Beebe by a 64%-34% landslide in 2010, a year when Democrat governors were dropping like flies.

Why Arkansas? How will this affect WalMart based out of Arkansas. Seems kind of suspicious. When does it go into effect. what happens if Walmart says that is it and pulls up and moves it corporate headquarters to Texas. Walmart - well we will be damned to be forced into Obamacare because throughout the Us all are other associates at sam’s and walmarts would be affected and no one would shop at either place and thus the unemployment level would rise even higher thus defeating ObamaCare and making a single payer system mandatory. Unless walmart does accept and it does screw Wal mart too.

I do not shop at Walmart, since I have to drive to either Marquette or Houghton to go to Walmart. Generally Pamida or Snyders are okay.

The people of Arkansas are not going to recall Beebe.

Beebe is loved & was just reelected with %64.42 of the vote.

They associate Republicans with Lincoln... they are stupid.

Not only is MA the first test case, but AR would not even be in the top 20...

There is the test case in VA (aka, the Henry Hudson case)

Then, there was the test case in FL (Vinson case).

Its failed everywhere its been tried, here and abroad.

All Texas needs to do is go see all the Arkansas doctors and
convince them to come here - we’re short doctors.

Probably wouldn’t take a whole lot of convincin.

The first thing you know old Jed’s a millionaire.
The kinfolks said ‘Jed, move away from there!’
Said ‘Californee is the place you oughta’ be.’
So they loaded up their truck and they moved to Beverly.

Most of them can’t afford to “move away from there”.

I graduated from high school with a guy who’s a rich, big shot farmer....former president of the Arkansas Farm Bureau. He campaigned and endorsed the republican for senate but supported Beebe for governor. He said to a friend “Beebe’s not doing that bad a job.”

Arkansas racists helped elect and re-elect Clinton (the first black president) for governor. It’s not possible to understand the mind of a southern liberal.

Has anyone here seen what happens when you set fire to a rotten log infested with ants???

What kind of silly Caca is this???

I didn’t realize Ark had the option to NOT implement Bamicare right along with everyone else!

I wonder how many unions in Ark already got their waiver from Mr. Commie-Corn? I wonder how they will feel about Obama rescinding their waivers based on the Governor’s offer?

Something smells pretty rotten here, and the buzzards look hungry!

The people of Arkansas are not STUPID.

Beebe had token opposition. This will end his career in Arkansas politics. What a piece of excrement!! I cannot find words to express my revulsion and I am SURE the people of Arkansas feel the same!!

Arkansas is stuck in a Civil War timewarp... It is the only state that never threw off the old Democrat party.

The 2010 wave was proof of that.

The voters there are just backwards. Sorry, it's true.
