Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R) “signed legislation adopting a limited expansion of the state’s Medicaid program, defying voters who in November approved the full Obamacare program through the ballot,” Politico reports.

It’s much more craven than even you say.

Failing to expand Medicaid is just a handout to the rich.
