Healthcare for Texas? Perry Says No.

Perry Rejects Health Care for Texas...? Big Shocker! It seems that the approval by the U.S. Supreme Court of the Obama Healthcare plan scared the wit out of Texas governor, Rick Perry. Even after having been declared constitutional by the Supreme Court, Perry is not enforcing the law here in Texas. Why you may ask? In a letter to the secretary of the U.S. Department of Human Services Perry stated, "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." The Texas Democratic Party disagrees with Perrys decision, obviously. TDP spokeswoman  Rebecca Acuña said, "Rick Perry’s Texas solution is to let Texans stay ill and uninsured." According to a study done by the U.S. Department of Human Services, Texas has the worst healthcare of any state. Is Perry doing us, his constituents, wrong? Or is he really looking after our great state of Texas? These are just some of the questions I was left with after reading this article in the Austin Chronicle.
