Texas said No to expanded medicaid and I'm 100% behind it.

The drive should be to get people OFF of these programs. Instead we see expansion of these programs.

Follow along now becsue you have to look at the big picture, I take one dollar from you and offer you a Coke in return.

Perhaps you want Pepsi, perhaps you want your dollar back. The only choice you have here is Coke and if you don't take the Coke you get nothing in return for your dollar becsue I'm going to give your Coke to the neighbor.

The only reason this program makes economic sense is becsue the taxpayers of those states have already paid for it whether they like it or not.

Medicaid should be ended not expanded. Why do liberals want to create even more massive welfare dependency?

Many of the new Medicaid growth is by impoverished unemployable women given birth to children they can never afford and whose fathers also won't support. That is very very harmful to society.

The cost doesn't stop existing. It is shifted to a Hospital district or county. For rural Texans, it's just a longer drive to a county with large enough Hospital district.

Just because Texas does not wish to expaned medicaid or start Health Insuranse exchanges, doenst mean the need for Texans health care evaporates.
