Giving governors more leeway in administering health care could represent a small positive development in the ongoing saga of Obamacare. Unfortunately instead of choosing flexibility President Obama and his left-leaning advisers always default to rigid 'Washington knows best' answers.
Under President Obama's new health care law Medicaid will become a very different health coverage program than first envisioned.
As a doctor when I was minister of health and would go somewhere little girls would come up to me and say 'I want to be like you one day I want to be a doctor.' Now they tell me 'I want to be president just like you.' All of us can dream as big as we want.
As the President reviewed the state of the union and unveiled his second-term agenda he fell short of adequately explaining how he intends to set America back on the course of fiscal responsibility and secure the fiscal health of the nation.
When President Obama passed health care reform it was personal! And when Governor Romney says he would repeal Obamacare and put insurance companies back in charge of a woman's health that's personal too.

With a host of proposals on the table and a President examining new ideas for health reform we have an obligation to give real reform our best shot.
Got good news and bad news for you Mr. President. The good news is that Chief Justice John Roberts just saved your legacy and perhaps your presidency by writing for the Supreme Court majority to rule health care reform constitutional.
