"If anyone was in doubt, we in Texas have no intention to implement so-called state exchanges or to expand Medicaid under Obamacare," Gov. Perry said. "I will not be party to socializing healthcare and bankrupting my state in direct contradiction to our Constitution and our founding principles of limited government.
"I stand proudly with the growing chorus of governors who reject the Obamacare power grab. Neither a "state" exchange nor the expansion of Medicaid under this program would result in better "patient protection" or in more "affordable care." They would only make Texas a mere appendage of the federal government when it comes to health care."................................. Gov. Perry: Texas Will Not Expand Medicaid or Implement Health Benefit Exchange
The word for public use...ought to be “sustainable”. If you can’t continue to pay for Medicare in the years to come, all because of this action, then most senior citizens would be against it (whether they were Democrats or Republicans).
I would also caution folks to note just how many patients that a regular country doctor can handle, and if you increased the patient load by twenty percent....would he still take the regular patients? Are magical doctors going to appear in 2014 out of the woodworks to handle the extra load? No...it’s not like just building another McDonalds or opening IHOP an hour earlier than usual. Again, most senior citizens would ask some stupid questions around this point in time if Doctor Joe wasn’t going to be adequately able to see them on a regular basis anymore.
"Matching funds" means that the federal government borrows money to match money that you spend beyond that which you are already spending. This means that both Texas and Obama are spending even more money that neither has. Maybe Wolff needs to explain how this is good.
Is Wolff aware that he’s part of the judiciary and not the legislative or executive branch? He’s supposed to be ruling not writing and enforcing the law.
Checks and balances are still taught in law school, no?

Nelson Wolff has been in politics in San Antonio since I’ve lived here.
I first moved here in ‘72 and I believe he was a councilman at that time, not positive.
But he has been involved in whatever benefits Nelson Wolff and the democrat party.
A new minor league stadium was built here a few years back and Miller Beer was going to
give them $1 million to have the field called Miller Park. Wolff and his buddies went ballistic.
“Couldn’t name a stadium for a beer! Children go there and we cannot associate this city with that kind of publicity.”
He convinced the city government and guess what the stadium is called? Yep Nelson Wolff stadium.
Such a frigging hypocrite! San Antonio has numerous parties every year and beer and margarities are availabe
at all of them.
The words I usually use in the same sentence as Wolff are not allowed on this site.
Liberal democrat....move on people nothing to see here!
Screw you Judge Nelson! Don’t you dare!
