I happen to agree with the article. You probably aren't on FB and Twitter, davester, where certain topics become a cause célèbre while others wither on the vine. "Boring" legislature regarding the old and the poor and the sick DOES get ignored by the thundering herds of social media whether you care to admit it or not. EVERYONE knows about Arizona's bill and that Brewer vetoed it. Almost NOBODY can tell you what is happening vis a vis the expansion of Medicaid in which states.
Is anyone threatening to boycott Arkansas because they are considering rolling back Medicaid expansion? Is the business community up in arms over it, with business leaders hollering that this mustn't happen? Are the parties arguing for Medicaid reduction doing so on the basis of religious belief/bias? I'm not saying people shouldn't pay more attention to important issues, but there are some actual differences here, methinks.
