Do Kasich, Brewer, Scott et al know less than Perry about this
Rick Scott was the Chairman and CEO of one of the largest operators of private healthcare facilities in the world. I don't know about Kasich or Brewer, but the idea that Rick Scott knows less about providing health care than Rick Perry is pretty ludicrous.
What are you talking about?
The point was, why did FL, AZ and OH buckle to Obamacare when, as Perry said, down that road leads to bankruptcy. Does Perry know more about the road leading to bankruptcy going through buckling to Obamacare than these others, or do they know it, too, but buckled for other reasons?
I know about Scott’s background.
This has NOTHING to do with his background.
Nothing.
And since you “know it all”, do please further enlighten us on the advantages of caving to that part of the Obamacare mandate (ruled unconstitutional) for the states to greatly expand Medicaid to put millions of uninsured into Medicaid under Obamacare. In this instance, apparently the Feds say they will, for now, give you money (that they don’t have) for the expansion, but it’s clear that later, you will be on your own.
Perry’s point: the Medicaid system is broken. You should not, and he will not, greatly expand a broken system. Down that road, whether under Obamacare or under anything, is bankruptcy. His point: the states need wavers that allow them to design their own programs for the poor. His point: as in Texas’ refusal to set up an Obamacare state exchange, do not co-operate with Obamacare, period.
