I am so p*ssed at the rightwingernuts that try to portray themselves as the "base" of farmer/ranchers- rural America on this site- and then condone anarchy type thinking- which is just opposite of what I see in most of my area.....
I was so proud of Montana and Montanans that they could produce a Town Hall type meeting without the screaming and yelling of the extremists and "the Bubbas"- and the "we want anarchy-before the truth " conception that has seemed to grip the whole pee down their legger rightwinger nut base....

Choice of health insurance is limited in Montana. Blue Cross Blue Shield Montana alone constitutes 75 percent of the health insurance market in Montana, with the top two insurance providers accounting for 85 percent.
