This is why "Blue Moon " Bedford and the taxocrats, aren't in power in the statehouse.Let Sen. Bedford and Coleman pay for

the 300K add-ons to medicare after the federal government stops payment in three years and it'll mirror the 100K cops Clinton hired,but most were terminated for lack of funds after the states were required to pay their wages.

What part of being broke is so hard for liberals to comprehend ?

What part of WE ARE ALREADY PAYING for this is so hard for the right-wing to comprehend? This expansion is for the WORKING poor who now use the emergency rooms at a higher cost that WE pay for. Providing Medicaid to these people allows them to get a family Doctor and be treated at a cheaper cost. Plus the Federal Government DOES NOT stop payment after three years, it is reduced to 90% of the cost. Why do you think the Republican Governors in other states are jumping on board?

I can't believe how these folks want to help the poor. Sickening
