Texas is #1

Maybe I'm just having a bad day or whatever, but the thing is, I woke up sorta shocked this morning when I heard CNN quote a statistic I hadn't heard before (that Texas leads all States with 25% of its population uninsured).

Such news probably wouldn't irritate most people, but the thing that irks me is this: Texas has 32 Representatives in the U.S. House, 20 of whom are Republicans. All of the Republicans and one Democrat voted "No" on the House health care reform bill.

Is this seriously true, or do I need my head examined? Apparently, someone does...

Big D.... They voted "No" becasue much like FL, TX has a HUGE illegal population that will absolutely milk off the resources that the taxpayers provide... That's why... How are you man, haven't talked to you in a while??? g
