Arkansas Republican Josh Miller who is a quadriplegic following a tragic car accident has signed on with 26 other Republicans threatening to take away Medicaid from 100,000 Arkansans. Millers hospital bills following the accident were over $1 million and were paid for through Medicaid. Now Miller wants to cut the Medicaid program for those between 100 and 133% poverty. Does anyone see the hypocrisy there?

The people who vote for hypocrites like this would vote for a turnip if it was running on the Republican ticket.

Just like people who listened to Rush Limbaugh spout how drug addicts should be locked away for the rest of their lives...continued to listen after he was found to be an Oxy addict. Just like Michele Bachmann ran as a presidential candidate espousing how people who get government handouts are immoral, after receiving handouts in the form of government farm aid. Just like Paul Ryan is trying to eliminate help from the government after getting survivors benefits from social security, which helped him pay for his education...then disparaged stimulus money which he claimed he didn't take, which he took.

There's a percentage of conservative voters that don't care. They are too brain damaged to see reality.

It's not that they are brain damaged. It's that they lack empathy and introspection.

The fact you oppose a program does not mean you should not utilize it. The fact is government forces us to pay for certain programs whether we want to our not. We should not cut off our nose to spite our face by refusing the benefits when we are paying the costs.

No, it's because being a right winger and being mentally ill go hand in hand.

They now should go to Healthcare.gov with their adjusted incomes and plug that into the formula. They might be surprized

I'm part of those "thousands that got dropped" because my previous plan sucked, and now I have a much better one thanks to Obamacare
