Death of a kid changes a lot of things. I can't blame him for changing his mind. But the reality is the country cannot afford all this Medicaid and while the new law may be dead for now, it is necessary to dump the Medicaid as it now stands. A lot of us are unhappy that there is not a repeal happening first. I'm disappointed they're taking this approach but the law was designed to be difficult to remove.

Being named America’s top diplomat is the career goal of many in Washington. But not Rex Tillerson. The former chief executive of Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM, -0.21% and current U.S. secretary of state said he wasn’t particularly interested in the job, and all the pomp and circumstance that came with it, until his wife pushed him, according to a profile published Tuesday by the conservative website Independent Journal Review. ‘I didn’t want this job. I didn’t seek this job. . . My wife told me I’m supposed to do this.’Secretary of State Rex Tillerson Tillerson told IJR reporter Erin McPike, who was the only reporter allowed to travel with Tillerson on his recent trip to Asia, that he had never met Donald Trump before the then-president-elect asked to talk with him about the global issues he faced leading Exxon.
