Evidently the bill had stated that if states wouldn’t expand their Medicaid programs to cover massive numbers of new people, the federal government could/would cut off all Medicaid funding to the state.

The SCOTUS nixed that.

Evidently the bill had stated that if states wouldn’t expand their Medicaid programs to cover massive numbers of new people, the federal government could/would cut off all Medicaid funding to the state. The SCOTUS nixed that.

They wrote that, but look at how easily Obama found an excuse to "nullify" the SCOTUS rule that states could determine the immigration status of people, by just refusing to work with AZ.

Note also that Obama also makes political decisions about which states get disaster aid (he knew he was going to lose Texas in 2012, so id disaster aid is another political slush fund, better to spend it on states he has a chance to win).
