Killing Americans... why Bobby Jindal needs to stop his lies regarding Medicaid
Posted on 4/13/14 at 1:24 pm

The number of uninsured Americans in red states that have opted out of the ACA's Medicaid expansion is 50% higher than in states that embraced the Medicaid expansion. LINK
And for what, really does Jindal continue to reject Medicaid expansion except that he's butthurt that his Party lost the Obamacare battle? Jindal's stated reasons for refusing $1.65 billion in Federal aid (when Louisiana taxpayers are footing the bill along with the rest of the country) and denying coverage to 242,000 Louisianians are all hogwash.
For example, Jindal states that accepting the Medicaid expansion amounts to discrimination against Americans with disabilities when many of them, too, would benefit from the expansion with better programs and services, and when the ACA does not reduce the funding or state management rules of those in that category.
His objection then boils down to one fact that annoys him: that more people in Louisiana would be covered at government expense. That's an ideological rather than a practical objection, one that has flown the coop when most of the rest of America is all too willing to accept the upside of the ACA.
Call Jindal's office and ask him to stop his lies about the ACA's medical expansion. I already have.

Medicaid is one of the ponzi schemes that is bankrupting America. Needs to be done away with.

But what does this mean for Louisiana's raven population?

1) he'd the Governor of the State of Louisiana;
2) he has an obligation to make sure not to frick the state fiscally after he leaves;
3) the cost of Medicaid expansion is MORE recipients and a tab to the state of at least 10% after 3 years:
4) Louisiana can't print it's own money.

Maybe it's a subliminal message to get the riff raff to move out of state if they want free insurance.
Personally, I thank him for saving me, the taxpayer, some money. If my governor had done the same we all would be saving some more taxpayer's money.

[He's fricking the state fiscally by PAYING INTO the system just like all the other states but NOT RECEIVING the corresponding benefits.

I'm not a Jindal fan by any means but if he's pissing Rex off, he must be doing something right.

As opposed to Obamacare where people receive healthcare without ever paying for it themselves.

How about people just get a job with health insurance?

I pay for things everyday in taxes that I don't benefit from. Obamacare is just the starter.

So by getting this Medicaid expansion, Americans will not die? Ever?
Uh, I aint buying it
I'm willing to ban bet that every American will die whether, they have Medicaid or not, amirite?
So what it boils down to is that you want people that have applied themselves and worked hard to secure prosperity for their families, to now take care of all the people who have spent untold amounts of money, on, oh I dont know, dog supplies?
I wonder if all the money you have spent on dogs over the years was applied to helping the sick, how many wouldnt die this year?

Nonetheless, the issue is ultimately taxpayer cost. Currently the costs would be shouldered by the Feds. Later . . . not so much.
When correspondant state obligations kick in, the chickens will come home to roost.

I support whatever is pissing Rex off.
Posted on 4/13/14 at 1:54 pm to Rex
I dont care for Jindal, but Medicaid is a clusterfrick that shoukd be done away with.

Until the Feds vote to reduce the distribution percentage, or the Executive branch does it via executive order, or they don't renew it at the end of ten year period prescribe by the Act.
Then what?
Louisiana is strapped with a financial obligation it couldn't possibly meet.
