From reading Greg Hinz's column in Crain's Chicago Business, it seems as if the Quinn Administration's Director of the Dept of Human Services, former state Rep. Julie Hamos, has finally come around to our way of thinking... kind of.
Listen to Director Hamos' words:

At his State of the State address on Wednesday, Gov. Quinn put forth a series of minor tax credits and investment (spending)[img_assist|nid=26350|title=IN Gov.

Heres food for thought. The 2800 page Obamacare law signed in March includes the cancellation of a discount drug program for childrens hospitals. This program allowed pharmaceutical companies to discount medications for rare conditions. The new law blocks childrens hospitals from receiving the discounted drugs. Instead, rural hospitals will be the new beneficiary of this program.
