Tom Corbett Loves Puppies, 

But 4 People Still Died Today Because He Won’t Allow Medicaid Expansion

That’s according to a new study by researchers at the Harvard Medical School and the City University of New York.
The study says that Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett’s refusal to expand Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act will result in 1,491 deaths this year.
Why is Corbett turning down federal funding for Medicaid expansion? Because he is playing politics over Obamacare in an election year. He wants to turn Medicaid over to his corporate insurance friends and impose illegal restrictions on who can be covered.
Every day Corbett delays the expansion of Medicaid in Pennsylvania 4 more people will die.
Expanded Medicaid coverage will not only prevent deaths, it will increase employment in Pennsylvania. A Families USA study showed that expanded coverage will result in over 40,000 new jobs in PA.

Following are some pics I was posting last night right before a power interruption. I heard a loud bang – what sounded like a transformer blowing up in the distance – and then my computer shut down. The neighborhood street lights went dark, but the house lights, including mine, stayed on. Anticipating further problems, I kept the computer shut down, pulled the plugs, and kept them out until tonight.
