I have to agree with former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm here and that's if Republican governors across the country think they can run on taking away medical coverage for the people who live in their states, good luck with that.

We've already seen the threats out of the likes of Bobby Jindal with more joining him this week. Even if these governors don't have one iota of care for the poor and those who don't have much of a voice in our society, they're going to be hearing from hospitals and others in the medical community and not just constituents who are fed up with their nonsense.

Here's more from Current's site on Granholm's commentary: Granholm: Health care issue is real and personal, not abstract and political :

The health care debate isn’t about political theory or semantics, it’s about people’s lives. Jennifer Granholm says voters will see through the rhetoric and defy Republicans who push for taking away people’s coverage, who fight against the freedom people should have to live without fear of sickness and crippling debt. Granholm says, “Republican leaders, you want your campaign slogans to be: “Vote for me and I’ll take your child’s health insurance away… Good luck with that.”
