Thank God for Pat!
To make sure I get the jest of this; you are okay with republicans dictating what is best for all of us. Yes?

Not everything is someone's fault or the result of people not trying to take care of themselves.

Back in the 70s, after a recession, Congress passed a bill to give a tax break to companies that hired the long term unemployed. It worked. The Republicans in DC refused to to that this time. This has resulted in a problem with getting people back to work. The GA raised the unemployment tax in NC. That is not going to put people back to work. It will have the opposite effect.

The state gets 65% of the cost of Medicaid. Taking the extension would have insured more people, most of whom are employed, at least part-time, & covered it 100% for 3 years. That would have freed up money to pay off the unemployment debt. If you don't understand that, I'm sorry, but most people do.
Tell me, what happens in 3 years after the Feds stop paying the 100 %?

The feds pay 90%.

The 100% was calculated to give the states a chance to get caught up. I'll be curious to see how many lawsuits are filed in states that chose not to sign up. The uninsured usually don't see doctors until conditions & diseases force them to. I would imagine that making a choice that is to the detriment of the working poor & some self-employed people would certainly open up the possibility of lawsuits.

If you want the government to stay out of our lives, then make that 100%. This means no dictating the gender a person can marry, interfering with women's reproductive rights, trying to legislate religious doctrine, etc.

People demand that the government stay out of our lives, yet insist on having the government dictate who a person can marry, force women to endure unwanted pregnancies - even if it's a result of rape or incest, restrict a woman's access to birth control, and force everyone to abide by religious beliefs they may not agree with. The hypocrisy is disgusting.

I guess everyone hating on McCrory forgot who ran this state for the last 100yrs? If they did such a good job why does all this need to be fixed?
