But this new proposal that President Obama has put forward is going to extend the Louisiana Purchase to every State. Now, the governors are going to love that, and the State legislatures are going to love that, because what it's going to do is it's going to take some of the financial burden off them for health care costs that are skyrocketing because of the Federal Government. But what it's going to also do is it's going to put a heavy burden on all the taxpayers in this country. So the taxpayers are going to hate the Louisiana Purchase. And it's just a cost shifting, basically, from a State level to a Federal level, and again, it's a Federal takeover of the health care system, and to get the States, as well as private insurance, out of the health care system, so--Louisiana Purchase.
