Trump met with Scott Walker and Rick Scott to 'fix' health care.

The worst of the worst of the worst.

http://www.columbian.com/news/2017/feb/25/governors-split-by-party-over-reform-of-medicaid/

Meanwhile, at the White House, Trump met with two Republican governors, Wisconsin’s Scott Walker and Florida’s Rick Scott, and discussed “how best to solve the problems” of the Obama-era health law, with “special emphasis” on states’ role in health care, according to a statement by his press secretary.
~~~
The governors also listened to a consultant’s report about the fiscal impact of a Medicaid overhaul on states. The report, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, predicted that Medicaid reforms being proposed by House Republicans would result in tens of thousands of people losing their insurance coverage in an average-size state.

Inslee and Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia called the report “disturbing.” Republican Gov. Matt Bevin of Kentucky said if Democrats were disturbed, they haven’t been paying attention.




I would counter that "paying attention" is why they are disturbed.

Is he going to cite them to back away from his promises?

Or is he just stupid enough to think they'll contribute anything of value - even to his base.

A suggestion going forward - do not elect anyone whose first or last name is either Rick or Scott.

Rick Perry
Rick Snyder
Scott Walker

Rick Scott - double whammy
