That has been pitting young, hardline, Rightwing Tea Party obstructionists against older ones. [laughter] its the subject tonight. A number of primary votes yesterday, foremost among them, kansas. Threeterm conservative senator thats not him pat roberts. Thats him. He risked defeat at the hands of his own real estate decision. The New York Times revealed he does not have a home address in kansas. His voting address in the state is on a Country Club Golf course. Roberts spent just a total of 97 days in the state of kansas between july 2011 and august 2013. Jon 97 days over im pretty sure there are individual tornadoes that have spent more time in kansas.

So if youre one of these folks, its reasonable that you might worry whether Health Care Reform is going to create changes that are a problem for you especially when youre bombarded with all sort of fearmongering. So the first thing you need to know is this, if you already have health care you dont have to do anything.
