ARE STATE LAWMAKERS BEING LEFT OUT OF THE LOOK ON HEALTHCARE REFORM?…

We’ll hear how Congress has ignored their concerns about federal healthcare bills, & their fears that JOBS & state budgets will take the biggest impact of increased costs..... Special guests...... Sen. Judson Hill (GA)..... Rep. Pearl Burris-Floyd (NC)..... Rep. Gary MacLaren (MT)..... State legislators (and budgets) have been ignored in the Congressional debate over healthcare reform. But that's where we'll take the biggest hit as the Feds ramp up unfunded mandates for Medicaid and other state programs. .....Some legislators tell us they can't even get their Senators to take their calls!...... We'll talk about those issues, the impact on JOBS and loss of state revenues with a distinguished panel of state legislators. We'll also hear from regular Jennifer Hulsey with a report on grassroots activities, and a summary of the next steps in the Senate.
