And?
The states voters voted FOR THIS…..
“Republican lawmakers blocked Medicaid expansion funding from reaching the Missouri House floor on Wednesday, posing a setback for the voter-approved plan to increase eligibility for the state health care program,” the Kansas City Star reports.
“The House Budget Committee voted along party lines not to pass a bill allowing Missouri to spend $130 million of state funds and $1.6 billion in federal money to pay for the program’s expansion. Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government picks up 90% of the tab on expanding Medicaid.”
Politicalwire…
Just like Georgia. The Missouri legislature thinks it knows better than the state residents.
This will only further the drift of college educated suburban voters to the Democrats. They are much more likely to vote in each election. Including state legislative races.
Republicans don’t care much for elections anymore if they don’t like the results.
