Discussion: NC Edges Toward Medicaid Expansion As GOP Guv Meets With Obama

Discussion for article #231670

Just seeing that puke’s face makes my blood boil.

And I really like how all these pukes (Haslam TN, Herbert UT, Mead WY, Abbott TX,) all do this after the '14 elections. Weasels.

My guess is that hospitals are behind the recent overtures by GOP Govs to consider expanding Medicaid under the ACA. Hospitals lose money when they are forced to care for uninsured patients. So, I am guessing that hospital execs, particularly those running facilities in rural areas, are putting pressure on Govs to reach some kind of deal with the Administration regarding expansion. Plus, absent some insane ruling from the Supreme Court, my hope is that in 2015 we can enjoy at least of year of reduced political posturing with regard to the ACA.

“McCrory wants ‘to be allowed to devise a North Carolina solution to health care for families’,”

McCrory wants to be allowed to expand Medicaid in North Carolina in a manner that threatens the ACA and provides opportunities for the racist pigdog GOP/Teatrolls running the state to punish poor minorities into moving to a bluer state.

FIFY

I had figured the holdout states would have to come around eventually – the math is inescapable – but it took a lot longer for them to do so that I had thought it would. But I suppose that is to be expected of people who are still fighting a war that ended a hundred years ago.

McCrory is using weasel words about Medicaid expansion in the same way that bottom tier candidates talk about exploring the possibility of running for the presidency. They’re itching to do it, but feel they must be coy

Oh, look, Kochtopus Proconsul McCrory is acting like he has the authority to make this decision without the approval of his imperial masters. That’s cute.

Oh, the pressure is getting to these silly guys!

HHS should refuse to issue these states waivers to do it in any but the statutorily mandated way. No taking federal money and trying to find creative ways to screw the poor. Either take it as is or don’t take it.

It’s the 120-200K people who actually split their goddamn ballots to vote for Obama and this creep who make my blood boil.

Wow I’m glad to say I didn’t heat your blood any Steve!

Still Obama, that part never changes.

Hey the guys in charge didn’t have to suffer any.

He’s finally getting enough pressure from the insurance companies that want to cash in on the bidness.

Yup . . .

Dear Governor McCrory…

Simple solution. Set up a North Carolina Health Care portal in alignment with the ACA.

We here in California and those 320,000 low-income North Carolinians will thank you.

Dear Governor LePage,

How many states’ Medicaid programs are the people of Maine expected to subsidize before you drop your unilateral opposition to expansion in Maine?

Sincerely,

Your Constituent

Well, that’s certainly a prediction consistent with all the policies he’s actually implemented.
