Missouri, a state that didn't take the Medicaid
Posted: Jun 22, 2017
it hurt them. The cuts the republicans are pushing for in the Medicaid will hurt them even more.
Sorry for those of you who live in Missouri but if your republican governors had taken the expansion they wouldn't have suffered like they are now.

Obama took the money out of Medicare to pay for Obamacare. - The money that went to the states
[ In Reply To ..]from the feds was temporary.
What Obama wanted to do was to get as many people dependent on govt as possible through Obamacare/Medicaid, forcing the state's hands. So he promised them fed money, but that has run out. Where is the money coming from? Taxpayers of course.
Just like us suckers who are going to have to bail out Illinois.
So not only are those of us who don't get subsidies paying more - for OUR insurance, but we are also paying
[ In Reply To ..]for those who GET subsidies.
This is WRONG!
This is what the coming Civil War will be; free market versus - socialism. We might as well prepare
[ In Reply To ..]for it because it's going to cause economic collapse.
Where did you get that the money - run out?
[ In Reply To ..]• The Federal Government pays 100% of expansion costs for the first three years and 90% after that until 2022.
• Most states that opted out of expansion, except Vermont and Montana had a Republican governor when Medicaid expansion was originally rejected.
• In general, the states who opted out have the highest uninsured rates and would be the states which expansion would help the most.
• Some people say that opting out of Medicaid expansion is part of an ongoing effort to “break” ObamaCare regardless of the cost to the people. Other tactics include opting out of creating exchanges, funding expensive disinformation campaigns, threatening or causing a Government shutdown, suing the President, and attempting to repeal the law (50+ times).
Where do you think that money comes from? Taxpayers. - Opting out of Medicaid was because
[ In Reply To ..]states knew the fed money was only temporary.
I apologize if I misunderstood what you were - saying but I knew it was taxpayer
[ In Reply To ..]money. I was responding to the part about it being temporary and "the money ran out." The subsidies are 90% paid until 2022. Did the states opting out because they knew it was temporary let people know it was temporary until 2022. I mean that's quite a ways off and I don't think any president can make something like that permanent. Ten years or so would have been a lot of help.
That's true, but in the past once that 10 year Medicaid is up, - the government always funds it again
[ In Reply To ..]so we the taxpayers continue to fund even more debt.

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 ...

Chief Jackson - Ferguson, MissouriSep 25, 2014
Maybe an effort to distance himself from the "bad" cops. Maybe helps Ferguson in their civil rights law suit. And, IMO, (and only my opinion) they might just indict Darren Wilson after all.

Personally, I think he is guilty, but that really doesn't matter. http://preview.msn.com/en-us/video/news/ferguson-police-chief-apologizes/vi-BB5J85K ...

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).

I would think they would feel betrayed by the Republicans who ran in 2010 and promised to "protect" Medicaid. ...
