    According to one bill watcher, the accelerated deterioration of HB4717 has a catalyst.

    According to this source:

    "On reliable information from inside the GOP caucus the plan is to vote out of committee Tuesday for passage on the floor Wednesday or Thursday Michigan HB4714, medicaid expansion. The bill seems to be changing by the hour but not necessarily for the better. The current version does set up an exchange and REQUIRES enrollment in a plan whether a person is eligible or not: "Sec. 105c. The department shall provide a process by which individuals may apply for or renew medical assistance eligibility through a website from which the department shall enroll individuals in the appropriate health care program without regard to the specific program for which the individual applies." This provision and others are dependent upon waivers from the Obama Administration, or requires the state to SEEK such waivers, but does defeat the proposal if they do not succeed. THIS BILL LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN DRAFTED BY HEALTH INDUSTRY LOBBYISTS WHO WILL SELL SOVEREIGNTY FOR SHORT TERM INCOME."
    Oh but THAT never happens!

    You know the drill.

    In the next two weeks there will be incredible pressure by lobbyists who fail to understand their industry has an end in sight if they are successful in convincing Michigan legislators to expand government for their own particular purpose.  Our legislators who remain outnumbered also are being led by the corruptive influence of a governor who has his own agenda.

    Strength is needed now more than ever.

    This fish rots from the head.  Bolger gave the Nerds' agenda the light of day.  Bolger is owned by the Nerd.  The caucus is complicit.  Schostak is too.

    This perpetual need to straighten politician hunchback's reflexive bending over for corporate/special interest lobbyist for citizens money to be raided by the elected class is getting real goddam old.

    Our legislators who remain outnumbered [STOP]

    So?  They are also adults - act like it.  Integrity, principle, and honor is never outnumbered.

    But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

    Lemme know when it matters.
