PA’s Worser: Conservatives Mask Self-Contradictory Obamacare Attacks as "Policy Analysis" [VIDEO]

This is a video from my show Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.

In this edition of Counterpoint PA's homage to Keith Olbermann, the Worst Pennsylvanians of the Week, the runner-up is a so-called "policy analyst" for a conservative advocacy group who, after calling Medicaid expansion under Obamacare "immoral" because it was supposedly poor insurance, also criticized Obamacare for canceling private insurance plans for not meeting minimum coverage standards. I explain how this self-contradiction shows that the group's opposition to Medicaid expansion in PA is purely ideological and should not be masked as "policy analysis."
