Discussion: New GOP Gov't Could Threaten Arkansas's Medicaid Expansion

Discussion for article #229875

GOTP wont be happy until poor folks are dying from lack of medical care and we are all footing the bill…

2016 prediction: The Republican House will pass all sorts of bat shit crazy bills. The Republican Senate will pass a large number of those bat shit crazy bills–with the help of some spineless Senate Democrats. The President will wield his veto pen on most, but not all, bat shit crazy bills. Several vetoed bat shit crazy bills will be overridden with the help some spineless Democrats. We’ll see rollbacks of good–or just passable–legislation at every turn. Come 2016, America will be poorer, less healthy, less educated, FAR less informed, and more divided than ever. Hillary will still be elected, we’ll end up with a near 50-50 Senate, and a heavily Republican controlled House.

Why? I believe Winston Churchill said it very well indeed. “The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with an average voter.”

The average voter, as usual, just voted against their own personal interests. Mind boggling.

Instead of just hanging out waiting for a handout, those folks in need of Medicaid should have voted on Tuesday: it could have made a difference. A lot of us are getting sick and tired of doing their bidding.
