Looks like the county will have to ante
up almost 300K in clams to cover a fee tied to the Affordable Care
Act.
I'm certainly not going to get into
whether this is a lot of money or not because it would mean debating
the merits of ObamaCare and, quite frankly, both sides annoy me.
I did, however, chuckle after reading a letter Mayor
Tim Burchett's sent to Congressman Duncan for no apparent
reason other than to get some media coverage. He notes that Duncan
didn't vote for the measure, then laments that it will cost the
county money. (Like he didn't know this. Seriously. It's not a secret.)
Then Burchett tells the good
Congressman that if he wants to learn more about it, he can call his
office. Er . . . . . .
You can read the letter, which was no
doubt authored by emperor Dean Rice and his underlings, right smack here.
The train wreck of a radio interview
the two conducted this morning is more than likely somewhere on the
Internet. Although it's no where near as funny as this one that has been floating around.
No word yet on how much the city, which
also is self-insured, will have to spend. Probably a similar amount.
