states with Republican governors (see theGrio’s lookat the fight over the new Medicaid funds). If Scott and Texas’ Rick Perry alone refused to implement the new Medicaid rules, more than three million low-income Americans could be denied coverage. (The provision expanding Medicaid is supposed to go into full effect in 2014.)But don’t expect this to actually happen. The governors will eventually accept the money. A few months before a presidential election, with conservative activists watching them closely, it’s easy and perhaps even politically-necessary for these Republicans to talk tough about refusing the Medicaid money. “Obamacare” is deeply unpopular among conservatives, so any Republican governor will face pressure to distance himself from the law in any way possible.But can they make this move in reality? The Kaiser Family Foundation, as first reported by the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein, estimates that the federal government will send $20 billion dollars to cover the uninsured between 2014 and 2019 to the state of Florida alone. Florida, in that period, would spend only $1 billion. Texas would spend $2 billion and get $52 billion from the federal government for Medicaid coverage.
just like the Stimulus "oh it's a abomination, it failed he failed, and then camera present rallies with big cardboard checks while they took credit for what "THEY" did for their state. after being on "video tape stupid" decrying it's worth and feasibility, while counting how big a cut they can skim off at "we the people's" expense. crying wolf to often?
they were only called the right because the first congress set to the right of the speaker, making them RINO (right in name only)
