All about what the government can do for me and mine. To hell with the cost and who has to pay.
Actually, those states that did not accept expanded Medicaid are having to cough up real money that they are losing because of reductions in fed funding to their hospitals.
God forbid any one of you fall on hardships and need some help. We should be helping our own citizens. God knows we sure as heck help everyone else! We spend trillions and borrow from China to build roads, schools and hospitals in countries who hate us. While our own Vets suffer. Time to HELP OUR OWN!
Yup. That`s what GOD would want us to do. Me first!
Wait a minute! Don't you see the value of the Republican controlled states not expanding Medicaid?
Without them, conservative republicans and the right wing media couldn't trot out all these Obamacare horror stories of individuals getting screwed by the effects of Obamacare.
Take note that almost every health care horror story reported in the media has originated from states that refused the Medicaid expansion.
Which means in your own words that in their effort to lower healthcare costs the Democrats have created a system that results in horror stories unless you accept increased government spending rather than lower spending.
So thanks for reinforcing our conservative point for us!
I guess denying health coverage to millions of eligible Americans isn't the winning strategy it used to be for the GOP. Being down by double digits in the polls was probably a big motivator for Corbett to get this done now.
OP, this is not a real expansion of Medicaid. Under CorbettCare, the only "Medicaid" you're gonna get is subsidized private plans. Not all of the people earning below 133% of the poverty line are still going to be able to afford it. That being said, Tom Wolf said he's going to fully expand Medicaid as governor, and do away with this Healthy PA nonsense that Corbett dreamed up in his teacup
The total cost of good comprehensive health insurance for an individual (not some high deduct product) is far more than $120 a month. Even 4 years ago. Of course, if you get health insurance thru your employer they usually subsidize most of the cost for you.
Hmmm, imagine if you could get a job through your healthcare insurer...
Can you see why I'm not voting Republican anymore? Too much hate on vitriol on the GOP side. Screw them.
I am a registered independent who doesn't vote. far from a republican. and no people on earth are more hateful than liberals. there's a story on huffpo right now about a family that broke a record hunting alligators. liberals are commenting calling for the family to be executed.
Anyway, back on topic, I wouldn't celebrate this "Medicaid expansion" yet. This is just another attempt of shoving teabaggery down our throats before Corbett loses in November. I'll consider getting a Tom Wolf for PA bumper sticker sometime. Corbett is making a blatant attempt to try to win in November by releasing infrastructure funds just in time for the election. Releasing infrastructure funds? Sounds like the useless governor was purposely trying to hold out, trying to play cards in his favor. I hope that slimy snake oil salesman loses by a landslide.
not rocket science. I am a registered independent. I have always registered as an independent. I also don't vote anymore. so yes, I am an independent because I don't vote for either party. doesn't get more independent than that.

Next step in the process is to get to work on that bunker.
