Why GOP governors will cave on Medicaid

[kemah]

Two reasons they will cave.
Hospitals want that medicaid to pay for the non insured.
Health insurance companies want those exchanges to get new government subsidize customers.
Both are gop big buck donors and they will get what they want.
Like when food stamp legislation was introduced in congress, Bob Dole was dead set against it. But 24 hours later, big ag called and told him that it meant more money for big ag. So Dole changed his mind and said it was the best program ever.

5. This....

Political posturing for the masses. Meanwhile, the big bux donors are working behind the scenes.

And watch, they'll claim they were forced by the evil liberal forces at work in our society.

3. There will be a lot of pressure on them to accept the funding from institutions that will benefit.

In the end very few states will reject the Medicaid expansion.

6. Politicians will cave as soon as they find a way to steal some of it.

7. And then they will take credit for it.

Hospitals do want that medicaid to pay for the non insured.

11. But odds are they will hold out long enough to screw up the '14 elections for themselves

People like Walker, Scott, Kasich and Snyder all need to go in 2014. I hope this helps usher them out.


It looks like SCOTUS not only upheld ACA but set a trap for the wing nuts at the same time.
