Good show Ox. Thanks a lot for nothing. A real demonstration of your leadership skills (or lack thereof). -- Insurance Pools Readied in Some States

From The New York Times:

The Obama administration is poised to award contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars to about 20 states to run new insurance pools for people with serious medical problems.

In another 20 states, where local officials chose not to participate, the federal government will run the pools through a private nonprofit entity.

Other states, like Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Virginia, never had high-risk pools and will allow federal officials to run the program within their borders.
