Sadly, far-right hatred of Obama can't even be tamed by business interests. Big business is begging Perry and the Texas legislature to expand Medicaid. It's not happening.
It's surprising because the hospitals here - all of them, for-profit, non-profit, private and public - are all very pro-expansion and yet they can't seem to get Perry or any Republicans in the Legislature to do their bidding. Compare that to the '90s when they wanted tort and malpractice reform and got exactly what they wanted without much difficulty.
