Federal government releases long-awaited health reform rules

Now you are reaching. Jindal didn't have anything to do with the funds for Landrieu's vote

Louisiana is in a growth period right now.

And if you didn't realize that health services are 1/6 of the overall U.S. economy we're done discussing this.
Landrieu took the rare step of releasing a Sept. 16, 2009 e-mail from the Jindal administration to the state’s congressional delegation. In the e-mail from Julia Kenny, chief of staff for the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, Kenny urges the delegation to “make our case” for an effort similar to one undertaken by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to secure Medicaid funds for Nevada.


“We will be working on a joint statement with Gov. Jindal and [HHS] Secretary [Kathleen] Sebelius to say they are working on the FMAP issue and asking Congress to solve it,” Kenny wrote. “That’s huge, if the commitment does lead to follow-through. Once there is agreement, then we will draft a statement for the delegation’s consideration applauding the secretary and administration for recognizing the problem and working with Congress to solve it. Thank you.”

Jindal released a statement in November acknowledging the provision was a state effort.

Sen. Landrieu defends

Yes they are, but that doesn't change the fact that they are still reliant on federal funding for healthcare in particular.

Oh I absolutely do, that's why I linked you to rosy BLS projections regarding health services employment, in response to your claim that the ACA is damaging to it's existence. http://www.bls.gov/ooh/

Learn to wave a white flag.

Yeah, you linked to BLS, guess what, that's not what the people who actually know what's going on are saying. Market analysts, many economists, and people who make a living at knowing this stuff are of the opinion this is going to hurt people. But keep thinking you know the subject matter better than the pros, we're done here.

No? Could you name a source more qualified to make projections in regards to employment?

LOL! You just completely wrote off The Bureau of Labor Statistics as folks who don't know what's going on.
