How proud they must be!!
See above story if you want to see the End-game of Socialism. And or France.
Take a look at Tennessee. There are over 1 million people on Tenncare, many who are completely able to work and afford other insurance.
"Maine has had the largest increase of all 50 states in its Medicaid program from 2000 to 2004."
No mention of Maine's illustrious governor. I thought he was going to solve the healthcare problems in Maine. Seems like he's made 'em worse. What happened?
Maybe they'll all freeze to death this winter and lighten' the load (just kidding)
You yanked those words right out of my fingertips...LOL! Right...those Mainers must be so damn happy! The rats who own property must be dancing in the streets. I can't imagine how high property taxes etc must be in comparison with other states.
No wonder they charge $32 for a pint of lobster stew!

That says it all.
Who in their right mind would freeze to death nearly year round to be poor? I could just as easily be poor on the white sands of a Florida beach.
must be all those somalian refugees.
Well, the Hemlock Society ought to be able to help in Maine, too, like they're doing in Florida.
Maine and Vermont have become priority states for many gays for early retirement after cashing out their homes in California.
When we first saw this trend in our area, we were wondering why in hell were these gay couples moving to Maine or Vermont for their early retirement after selling their homes here. These were not winter ski nuts longing for the cold winters.
The trend of these gay couples moving to Ashland, Eugene and Portland Oregon seems to have slowed down and have replaced with Maine and Vermont.
The wonderful health care programs of those states seems to be the lure.
Ooops. I forgot to ping you on this reply of mine.
Well said! I live near a FL "white sands" beach..hehe! And have cousins in different parts of Maine. They are very bitter about the tax situation too. They may give up and move BACK to Massachusetts...Taxachusetts.
LOL
Well, that helps narrow down the states I might move to.
Avoid New England like the plague.
I visited there a few times over the years. The colors of the leaves in fall are pretty.
Every thing else made me shudder with fear and loathing.
Although I was thinking about NH for a while since it has no income or sales tax and has a reputation for being conservative. And then I saw the property taxes, and read that liberals from MASS(destruction) are moving there in droves.
The destruction of Maine is directly proportional to the Masshole migration. They have left the hell of their own creation without a clue that they are the ones who made the place uninhabitable. Now they are busy doing their number on Maine.
And then there are the Somalis...
Thanks for the ping. I need to read this. heh! What else is new!
