“Our state’s refusal to accept expansion is taking two billion dollars a year out of our state’s healthcare system,” the mayor wrote in an op-ed to explain why he’s making the trek over the next two weeks. “Americans need to realize the rural healthcare struggles across our country. In the last year, more rural hospitals have closed than in the previous 15 years. Every hospital closure means deaths!!!”

Medicaid ExpansionJul 11, 2014
Reading many of these posts, I would think the majority of you, if asked, would claim to be Republicans or Conservatives. With this said, I assume that you would not support Medicaid Expansion. How do you resolve this with your own interests, i.e. hospitals staying open? I just saw an article that said that since Medicaid Expansion, Arizona hospitals are now "saving money." Arizona Hospital Association said that uncompensated care went down by 31%. Uncompensat ...

Another Obamacare Win: Red State Montana House Passes Medicaid ExpansionApr 11, 2015
Montana’s Republican-controlled House voted Thursday, 54-46, to approve federal subsidies for Medicaid expansion. Although Democrats are outnumbered 59-41 in the Montana House, a unified Democratic caucus joined forces with 13 Republicans who defected from their party’s leadership, to push Senate Bill 405 through the House chamber. The bill would expand Medicaid coverage to between 27,000 and 46,000 low-income Montanans who earn less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level. All 41 H ...
Gun Ban ExpansionJan 24, 2013
"The California Democrat intends to expand on the ban that expired in 2004, BY INCLUDING HANDGUNS AND SHOTGUNS (caps mine), in addition to rifles. She would decrease from two to one the number of cosmetic features on a gun to have it be considered an 'assault weapon.' This means that if a gun has just one item like a pistol grip or bayonet lug, then it is illegal. Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law the same ban in New York last week."

Where Is The Tea Party? Medicaid In JeopardyApr 29, 2011
Two years ago during the healthcare debate, the Tea Party was passionate in their insistence that government should keep their hands off Medicaid (never mind the fact that Medicaid is government run, socialized healthcare). Now that the Ryan plan has proposed phasing out Medicaid as we now know it for those who are 54 years old and younger, where is the Tea Party? I would think they would feel betrayed by the Republicans who ran in 2010 and promised to "protect" Medicaid. ...

UnitedHealth's Warning Shows Medicaid Taking Over Obamacare.Nov 19, 2015
a Medicaid marketplace. Not only in terms of the design and quality of the narrow-network plans that are being offered, but in the actual carriers that sell those policies. Obamacare's costly regulations mean that the mix of people who sign up are tending to be older and sicker. Many young and otherwise healthy individuals continue to be priced out of the exchanges, even after the benefit of federal subsidies are baked into their costs. Meanwhile, it's the Medicaid managed care ...
