<p>[quote user="John WR"]</p> <p>Sam,</p> <p>You suggest there could be some downsides to secession. For example Medicare payments cannot be made to doctors or hospitals in foreign countries with a very few exceptions for hospitals along the border. Medicare payments now made to Texas hospitals would stop. Also, there would be no more border patrol along the Texas--Mexico border and Border Patrol officers along the other borders would most likely live in the US. Not to mention the most important loss: No more Amtrak routes through Texas. Never again would you be able to ride the Sunset Limited to New Orleans or Los Angeles.[/quote]</p> <p>I am not advocating succession. Neither is any other responsible person in Texas. This is a nutcase issue that a NY Times reporter has picked-up on and reported out of context.</p>
