Sen. Lamar Alexander Repeatedly Calls Medicaid A ‘Medical Ghetto’

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/11/21/alexander-medicaid-ghetto/

– “We’ve heard eloquent statements about how moving 15 million low-income Americans into a program called Medicaid, which is a medical ghetto, is not health care reform.”

– “The governor of Tennessee, who is a Democratic governor, has estimated that the cost to our state of this bill — of moving 15 million Americans into this medical ghetto — is about $800 million over five years.”

– “Or arrogant in its dumping of 15 million low-income Americans into a medical ghetto called Medicaid that none of us, or any of our families, would ever want to be a part of for our health care.”

1. Has he lost his mind?

2. Years ago......yes!

He, along with all the other lying sack of shit on that side of the aisle, and some on the Democratic side of the aisle, have sold their souls to the devil LOOOOOONG ago.

Just a total waste of a representative of the people. A disgraceful piece of shit!

4. Those 15 million Tennesseans would love that "ghetto"

I was raised in TN and plan on returning there soon. One of my
hesitations has been the health care available. I have an
uninsured brother there who can only get care if my mother
signs her life away. He died three times(flat-lined) and
unless she agreed to pay, he was out the door.I have written
before about his many medical problems and needed surgeries
that are withheld from him.I have met (years ago) Lamar
Alexander. He used to be the regent of TSU. He was a right
wing greedy bastard and still is. Talk about a self-centered
phony...who loved the booze..anyway. He became Governor and
now senator. All because he was a good ol' boy. I know he has
been to enough "ghetto's" hunting young girls...I
digress.. Give the Tennesseans the ghetto insurance...it is a
whole lot better than what is currently available.

5. true - when many folks are thrilled to have a once-in-a-lifetime clinic in animal corrals

such as was the case with the medical clinics held recently for folks without insurance and who could not afford care
