re: Alabama Governor Bentley has Confederate flags removed from Capitol grounds

I don't know what the situation is in AL, but in TN the legislature's refusal to expand medicaid is really putting alot of hospitals in a financial bind. Hospitals have to eat the cost of providing care to uninsured patients.

The governor wants the expansion, but the legislature refuses. Something is gonna have to give. There are some influential people on the boards of these hospitals, who I'm sure are making their views heard in private.

The status quo is just not sustainable up here.
