Set the record straight. There are not 40,000 uninsured Alaskans. There are somewhere between 12,000-14,000. Of course, this does not include the Alaskan Natives who are insured even though they would like to use Medicaid $$ to get free transportation to Anchorage. Just ask the ANTHC. Medicaid expansion will provide health insurance to able bodied single people--something Medicaid was not ever designed for.  Once the feds pull out the $$, Alaska will be stuck with an &quot;unfunded&quot; mandate. Besides, these Medicaid expanded folks will get ahead of Medicare and Tricare patients because Medicaid reimburses providers at a much higher rate. What will happen to military dependents and seniors when that happens? Take a number and get in line behind...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What is disconcerting is that Ms. Coyne believes the Parnell PR. 

&quot;Oil tax reform&quot;   What is your definition of reform, Ms. Coyne?  SB-21 is giving away the resource.  The deductions make &quot;new&quot; oil tax free.  

&quot;Closer than ever on a gas line&quot;.  On what planet?  2025 is not closer than 2019, which is what the markets have asked for, but was rejected by Parnell.

North Slope activity is not better than what we saw under ACES.  Did you miss the BP layoffs?

Does Ashley Reed write this propaganda?]]></description>

Yes It&#039;s TRUE.  And it&#039;s Alice Rogoff&#039;s fault that Parnell ignored the public information requests. She is also behind his decision to deny Medicaid to 40,000 low income Alaskans. She did ALL this, just to make him look bad.]]></description>

Turbo, are you mad?  If McGuire was his running mate, the governor would have lost by a landslide.  No one takes her seriously.  she has serious character flaws.  she&#039;s a moderate, she&#039;s terribly polarizing.  She would have been a better mate for Walker. Not that Sullivan is a pillar of morality, but he is a conservative and less of a drama queen.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One thing not mentioned is the fact that having the polarizing Mayor Sullivan as the Lt. Gov candidate pushed Parnell farther to the right, and the appearance to be more negative labor than what was actual. With the race being as close as it was, that might have been the difference. 
I imagine if McGuire or Treadwell was Parnell&#039;s running mate, the results might have been different.]]></description>

You missed the point - Rogoff conspired with Walker and Beltrami to oust Parnell by blowing the NG deal all out of proportion. You will notice that the daily drip-drip of scandalous stories stopped on Election Day. You will also notice that all of these horrific crimes were reported to APD, FPD, AST ... and no charges were ever filed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Reading the comments here everything takes on perfect clarity.  Sean Parnell was the victim of a billionaire publisher who conspired with a handful of National Guard chaplains who filed complaints they knew would be ignored because key appointees of Gov. Parnell had all agreed to act as though they were incompetent (which of course they really aren&#039;t).  This went on for more than five years until these snakes struck poor Sean at election time.  What a patient bunch of conspirators they are!  Poor Sean.  He&#039;s a babe in the woods.]]></description>
