Scorpions for Breakfast, by Jan Brewer: on Health Care


Does not support a federal health care plan

Government that wants to spend beyond its means and take over our health care decisions is government that has a different vision from what most Americans would agree with. In Arizona, we fought back against that kind of arrogance. We haven't been willing to give up on our vision of America as a people that has a government, not a government that has a people.

Obamacare was a mistake and people starting to see this

Whether it's the fight against Obamacare or the fight to secure the border, fewer and fewer people are buying the "Washington knows best" routine.
