At best, it costs the State 7.1 billion over the next ten years. That's if the Feds (who can't afford it either) don't change the reimbursement rate. And no one knows what happens at the end on ten years.
That's hardly "little to no costs."
Okay, seriously, what is the truth from an objective source? I'm not doubting you, but there are some knowledgeable, non-ideological, observers who suggest that it's stupid for the state to turn down the Medicaid expansion deal. 100% funded by the feds initially, then 90% thereafter.
I'm asking the question honestly. What are the numbers?

The state put out a pretty thorough report this year crunching the numbers over the ten year haul. That's where the best-case-scenario 7.1 billion comes from.

Its as if the "Feds" are some altruistic, Third Party group with its own wealth.
JEEBUS.
That is like saying to my wife "We can't afford that car" and her responding..."It won't cost US anything. We will take the money out of the SAVINGS account!" (Note: My wife would never say anything this stupid)
VOR, on the other hand, says.."it won't cost the State (us) anything. The FEDS will pay for it (bigger US)

You mean funded by the taxpayers.

Where do you think fed dollars come from? The federal money tree? Is there a unicorn in Barry's office shitting out gold bricks that funds this country?
If we hop in bed with this, then we will be hit twice by Obamacare. You lefties keep saying that the fed will fund the expansion 100%, but you ignore where the money comes from. Taxpayers. So by jumping in bed with the obamacare whore, we too are exposed to the disease. Sure there won't be any symptoms initially. Then 2 - 3 years down the road. You start itching. Then 5 years down the road you have a rash. You go to the doctor, and find out, that not only do you have gonorrhea, but you also have herpes. Your state is now paying for what the feds stopped paying for, and the feds are still collecting the same amount of taxes (you thought they'd reduce your rate because you weren't paying as much? lol).
Why on Earth do you think the feds aren't funding O'Care 100% the entire time? Because it can't sustain itself. It has to be propped up with state taxes too. And all of this money is coming from us, the taxpayers. Nothing is free. The 100% funding by the feds, is taxpayer money. Do you think the feds are going to reduce the taxes when they are only subsiding the expansion 90/85/80%? Hell no. So in 3-5 years, we are not only paying more federal taxes, we are paying more state taxes, because now the burden switches to the state.
Obamacare is a venereal disease. And you lefties are knowingly jumping in bed with this whore, for 3 minutes of pleasure, and ignore the lifetime of pain and discomfort it would bring.
