You hear that sucking sound? Yeah, that’s state of Mississippi. Gov. Haley Barbour was on Hardball the other day and commented how he thinks states would do a better job at health care than the federal government. Digby over at Hullaballo points out that Mississippi ranks 51st out of the 50 states (plus DC) in heath care. Digby writes, “It seems to me that with that record, he [Barbour] should rethink his argument.”
If there was ever an argument against the South seceding, having Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama stay in the Union really helps pad the stats so to speak.
