14. Excepting medicaid expansion

Sat Jun 30, 2012, 07:18 PM

Jun 2012

would cost NOTHING for the 1st 3 years, the government would cover 90% following up to I believe 2018 and 50% thereafter and by that time, 100% of Americans should be covered by some type of health care with cost afforable for people who can afford coverage. Medicaid basically covers the poor and people who can't afford health coverage, i.e., losing your job.

What these GOP governors are doing is in my opinion equals to DEATH PANELS. Just read where the PA governor just allowed 89,000 children to suffer by not continuing health care coverage. Texas is willing to take 130,000 families from Medicaid, and the numbers are continuing.

The GOP don't care about the average Americans and don't care about lying to them. There is no tax increase, but these Godless goppers don't give shit.
