Thank God for conservative economics, eh?No. Actually our GOP state did expand Medicaid. It's liberal economics that's fucking over the working class, especially the working poor.
We are talking about national averages, not individual state budgets.
Their marketing has always been "don't tax the rich", same fucking bullshit they pull with calling the ACA "Obamacare"
GOP voter goes, "I don't want that"
Then they end up still taking federal money and call it something else in their own state.
OF course they do that because they don't want to piss off their god/guns and bible base.
It is a bait and switch.
Now here is the crux, I could give a shit less if they say they did expand medicaid. That still requires taxes to fund, and if the billionaires aren't paying their share, guess who is paying for that expansion? The middle class and the poor, so you are still ending up with a long term deficit because of corporate welfare and you are getting stuck with the bill.
The GOP loves to use the words "entitlements" what the fuck do you think they mean by that? Medicaid/Medicare/social security and food stamps.
It never ceases to amaze me what masters the GOP are in getting gullible people like you to vote against their own self interests.
Cant have it both ways, cant claim medicaid was expanded by the GOP then at the same time that they call that "entitlements". Either you want it or you don't. If you do want it then you should not be voting for a party that calls it an entitlement because that is a slur they use to get votes by vilifying medicaid.
You are not getting it. You cant afford what work would provide, you cant afford out of pocket and you don''t qualify for medicaid. I AGREE AND YES THAT SUCKS, but the GOP made it that way over 36 years of holding our government hostage.
