Talk about your rude homecomings.
Imagine the letdown of returning home from one of the best trade shows of the year (and that's only because I can't make it to Comi-Con) to find out the lawmakers in your own state are all talking about a single-payer system. Oh, and they're not just talking about it, either. These reactionary (and might I add, part-time) morons have a bill in hand. And it's already passed an initial voice vote.
And these chuckleheads in Colorado aren't alone, either. Apparently there's a similar proposal winding its way through the New Hampshire legislature, as well. I'd heard rumblings about this bill before leaving for Austin, Texas last week, but I just shook my head and laughed.

This is just sky-is-falling rhetoric, I told myself, this stuff is too extreme even by our president's standards.
Well, I think I need to take that back. While it's OK to remain confident, we can't let these uninformed lawmakers catch us napping.
It's time you made your voices heard and hold your state and local associations accountable for not only keeping an eye on these types of knee-jerk legislation, but to make sure they keep you informed, as well. I don't need to tell you, but this is some scary stuff.
