Ten States Dying for Health Coverage and the 7 Republican states on the list that don't give a damn

7. Exactly. (you have a goof in your subject line.....

you clearly get that it's Medicaid but you said "medicare" in your subject line.)

Yep, it's better for those frigging freeloaders to die than expand the state's Medicaid. Hell, I have a rich sister who has both Dem and Rep friends (she's a Dem, as is her DH), most of whom are also rich. I was able to sign up for Inclusive Health which NC, my state w/ a Dem governor & at the time majority Dem legislature) made available I think about a year ago. I did it right after we discovered I had a large ovarian tumor (Mom died of ovarian CA). It's cost me the loss of a lot of health care I was getting for free (local programs, free meds through corporate programs, etc) but I was able to do it despite LOTS of preexisting conditions and them knowing about this tumor (which turned out to be benign despite every test prior to surgery looking like it was malignant). I've kept it because it's the right thing to do. It's killing me financially and, as I said, it has cost me lots of meds & free health care I was getting MUCH to my detriment. But anyway, my sis was happy for me and let me know LOTS of her friends would be pissed I got the insurance. Nice, huh? I was just supposed to curl up and die, according to them.
