the lobby of my job and overheard a middle-aged, white guy talking with his attorney. He said, "... ObamaCare I lost my AHCCCS (Arizona Healthcare Cost Containment System-Medicaid Program) because of ObamaCare."
I took a step, then stopped and said to him, "Excuse me. Can I correct something that I just heard?"
Both the lawyer and the man looked at me puzzled, but said, "Sure."
I said, "I thought I heard you say you lost your AHCCCS because of ObamaCare ... Actually, Govenor Brewer refused federal dollars for healthcare when she cut AHCCS to help balance the state budget. And then she sued the Obama Administration to kill the ObamaCare that attempted to expand AHCCCS."
The man looked at me with a "You're Lying" look in his eye, then he looked at his attorney. His attorney was nodding and said, "Yes, that's true. The AHCCCS cuts had nothing to do with ObamaCare and ObamaCare would have expanded AHCCCS. Now it's up to Govenor Brewer to decide if she will accept the ObamaCare money."
