GOP just don’t give a fuk...Utah medicaid expansion

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

Utah Senate approves rewrite of Medicaid expansion plan

Holy Joseph Smith

Utah voters pass referendum expanding Medicaid, with dedicated funding

State GOP refuses bc they claim it will cost too much money

Would only cost 10 million to cover 150k people

State currently has 1 billion surplus

State GOP instead passes replacement bill

Replacement bill costs 5 times as much

Replacement bill has clause that repeals itself if state doesn’t get a waiver from the Feds

NO STATE HAS RECEIVED A WAIVER

Checkmate

 

[Elim Garak]

not even surprised by this stuff anymore.

GOP seeks to wield power on behalf of plutocrats and aims a feudal system.

i bet utah stays just as red as it currently is despite this... there's a reason the gop feels so brazen.... it's because the voters will never make them pay for anything...

Like LBJ said as long as the republicans preach bigotry white voters will make themselves broke to support them.

In Utah I think it's Joseph Smith.

Utah has a lot of polygamist women who are legally single mothers, and get government benefits.

...imagine Utah not having to worry about this GOP tactic had there been a deal to swap wall funding for medicaid expansions
