Comments on: What Medicaid expansion means in Illinois http://rockrivertimes.com/2012/11/21/what-medicaid-expansion-means-in-illinois/ The Rock River Times - THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1993 Tue, 21 May 2013 01:20:05 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Richard Kanak http://rockrivertimes.com/2012/11/21/what-medicaid-expansion-means-in-illinois/comment-page-1/#comment-7273 Richard Kanak Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:20:18 +0000 http://rockrivertimes.com/?p=41676#comment-7273 I find it troubling that it has been reported that in many of the people in the areas described by Mr Crabtree were strong supporters for Romney. Even in Illinois as you drive through miles and miles of corn and bean fields which are an indication of a prosperous agricultural system these fields are interspersed with obvious depressed communities. It is apparent that local farmers no longer support local communities and as more and more acres are controlled by fewer and fewer farmers this lack of support is devastating. Prisons and healthcare industries are growth industries which will fail without government support.
