Icey rain, then snow, then...

Hi!

Walking today started out as tough duty -- with a hard, icey rain. Then that became snow, which was much better. Then it all went away and it was just almost pleasant to walk. It really is the best part of the campaign.

More and more, people are wanting to talk about healthcare. Within the next few weeks -- sometime in mid-March -- I'm going to release my first round of concrete proposals, and they will be related to healthcare.

Governor Blunt tried to camouflage his should-be-criminal Medicaid decisions (when he removed around 100,000 people from Medicaid, costing the state $1 billion in federal money) by proposing Insure Missouri. It was a bad, bad program about which he was never serious. He scrapped that the other day. Why can't he just restore the Medicaid cuts he made? Missouri has the money. It would trigger the federal money. It would help over 100,000 people, many of whom are in desperate need (god forbid!). Don't see that happening, though. This is one governor who seems to have some sort of inbred inability to do the right thing.

Anyway, I'll have my initial proposals hammered out -- and ready to be debated -- by the 15th. Stay tuned.

Have an awesome evening!
