Not again

As someone from a place that is all too familiar with mine disasters, my heart goes out to those touched by the mine disaster in Turkey, which has claimed nearly 300 lives. My friend Ken Ward had some worthy things to say about the disaster here.

MEANWHILE, BACK IN INDIANA, it looks like another Republican led state is about to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. (Of course, the governor is proposing doing so by extending private coverage, which will probably wind up costing the state more money and having worse coverage than the traditional Medicaid program, but it's still better than doing nothing.)
