Everything is calculated posturing for his never-ending campaign. Walker and the Republicans know no shame.
Expanding the program would bring in an estimated $4.4 billion in federal subsidies over the next six years and give roughly 175,000 uninsured people health care.
Walker argued that it is the wrong approach, in part because he doesn't believe the federal subsidy will be maintained. But he also said expansion is immoral.
"From a moral standpoint, are we really doing the people of this state a service if we continue to build a series of programs whose overwhelming purpose is to add more people to that system?" he asked. "I think the moral claim here is we want people to succeed."
He then quoted a line from his inaugural address in 2011: "Moderation and frugality in government lead to freedom and prosperity for all our people."
