Eventually, after they have refused tens of BILLIONS of federal dollars, they will accept the Medicaid expansion. Arizona was the last state to participate in Medicaid, finally starting their program 17 years after it started at the federal level.

I love this quote from Greg Abbott:

"AUSTIN — Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott likes to brag about fighting the Obama administration, memorably describing his workday this way: “I go into the office, I sue the federal government and then I go home.”

It doesn't matter to him that, like the dozens of votes in the House to overturn Obamacare, his efforts are nothing but a waste of time and money. It's cost the state of Texas $4 million for his Tea Bagger snipe hunts, and of course there's the millions it cost at the federal level to deal with this bullshit. All this from a guy who says he's against frivolous lawsuits!
