Scott Colom has now jumped to a commanding lead of 4,404 votes in Mississippi's U.S. Senate race with 99% of the vote in.

@JeffMightBWrong Most of m4a taxes that would be raised are already being paid by people in the form of premiums, some existing taxes, and out of pocket. M4A could potentially save money in aggregate(though not necessarily fiscal side) as it is more efficient.
