So Virginia bans O-Care

[Ryan Stewart]

Be interesting to see context with respect to total tax in percent of income on that plan. When we looked at taxes paid by Kansans in 1996 for high school it was hilarious how much people $400k and up were paying.

Ah, I was waiting for a good politics thread to show up. This is the recently-much-touted budget plan brought forth by Paul Ryan:

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia's General Assembly became the first in the nation Wednesday to approve legislation that bucks any attempt by President Obama and Congress to implement national health care overhaul in individual states.

The Republican-ruled House of Delegates, with wide Democratic support, voted 80-17 without debate for the largely symbolic step aimed at the Democratic-backed reforms pushed by Obama and stalled in Congress. The vote sends the measure to Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell who intends to sign it.

Uht O Seems the that there is some monkey wrenches tossed into the plan, 34 states are considering following suit.
