Does anyone believe that Harry Reid's wife won't be able to have a cholesterol test? Maybe Harry will start up a non-profit chain of women's health clinics?

Why on Earth would Harry Reid's wife get her cholesterol tests at Ft Sumter when Harry Reid is a Senator in Nevada?

Actually, the question is why will she lose any healthcare benefits if Planned Parenthood is de-funded - when Harry has (Fed Gov't) employer paid insurance?

Ah, I see. You just posted in the wrong thread. I thought your post was in response to the original post.

It's Friday - Harry also commented that US Government owns approximately 83% of Nevada - maybe Government Casino is next? On the other hand, it would probably lose too much money.:wink:

No, you're confused. She gets them at the Grand Canyon.

On a more serious note - will the AZ National Guard need to secure the border - or are Border Patrol Officers considered essential?

the bigger question is, if the Border Patrol isn't there to look the other way as guns are smuggled across the border, how will mexican drug lords be able to fight turf wars ? how can we manage to keep oil cheap if mayhem isn't allowed to proceed SOTB?
