A Baton Rouge hospital is closing the only emergency room on the citys impoverished north side, a real- world ripple effect of the ideological clash over President Barack Obamas health-care law.
A Supreme Court ruling this year stopping Obamacare subsidies in three-quarters of the country would place immediate pressure on governors who have kept the health law at arms length.
Republican-led states that blocked Obamacares Medicaid expansion have found a way to embrace it, under pressure from businesses to tap the flood of federal dollars it brings.
Memphis has underfunded its city- run pension plan since 2009, putting the cash toward its budget. Tennessee lawmakers want to attach a cost to that kind of scrimping on retirement expenses.
