Ebola Panic By Right Wing May Help Democrats Campaign For Mediciad Expansion of ACA.

Perhaps something like TEXASEbolaCare would cover everybody just in case of an outbreak.

In my opinion, conservative voters would want everybody to have healthcare coverage, just in case. Being insured means going to and being accepted in to a hospital.

Even politicians are getting in on the act. Former South Carolina Republican Party executive director Todd Kincannon tweeted, “The protocol for a positive Ebola test should be immediate humane execution and sanitization of the whole area.” Republican presidential hopefuls stopped short of wishing death on people who have the disease, but are nonetheless crawling all over each other to make a bigger deal out of ebola than it really is. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan and Bobby Jindal have all suggested that we ban travel in and out of the country, at least some travel, in order to keep a lid on ebola.

you are just plain wrong. Who do you think is getting the blame for allowing the virus into the country?

BTW, the RW is blaming the children crossing the border for the enterovirus that is killing and paralying chidren. Any idea who they think is at fault for that, too?

going to take the child to a doctor if you are insured. If you are not insured then the parents of all of the other children will be frightened. That is how a School Nurse position came about. Both of the current new virus (outbreaks believed by Conservatives) are a huge step above a school nurse. To me, it is something like insured and uninsured risk. Texas Demo should jump at the opportunity in my opinion.

A lame excuse and taking on or lying, does not excuse you from your responsibilities to your child or your neighbor. Right Wing fundy rule: You are your brother's keeper; its in the Bible.

Thanks Obama!.

They told us he was bringing in sick kids or some kind of shit to cause this. I'll have to get the "real" scoop from Faux Noise. I'm sure they have all the facts.

by providing Expanded Medicaid to Texans and medical care in the GWB public law detention centers in Texas. George W Bush and the Republicans made a law that the US takes in detainee children. Obama is forced to follow the that law. Republicans can stop the money to it in the House.
