How many others opted to expand their medicaid with Obamacare and fear it will be cut off? I believe 27 states refused it.

[scbison]

sucks to be you Brewer.. Nobody forced you accept those funds.

[whitedog57]

That was the whole purchase of Obamacare. MORE dependency on Federal (Democrat) government.

Well you shouldn’t have put all your eggs in one basket...

That’s what happens when you hitch you wagon to a dead horse.

[SpaceBar]

Behold the infantile screams when the federal teet is withdrawn.

[Cyber Liberty]

Zero sympathy, Governor. I’m pissed I’ll be one of the folks who will have to bail you out for this act of stupidity. WE WARNED YOU that expanding our version of Medicaid would cost us a fortune, but YOU WOULDN’T LISTEN.

(Sorry about the shouting. Well, not really. I’ve never liked her.)

[Huskrrrr]

Brewer said she has never been a fan of “Obamacare.”

I was against the bill before I was for it.

[Qwackertoo]

Boo Freakin’ Hoo Jan . . . no sympathy for RINO Gov’s.

[trubolotta]

She could have done what Nikky Haley did - nullification.

[gov_bean_ counter]

She chose poorly...

[SpaceBar]

It’s amazing how similar government is to habit forming narcotics. She jonesin’ for that fix. Runny nose, incoherant speech, the whole nine yards.

>> take advantage of a key provision rewarding states that expand their Medicaid programs.

This is why America is dying...or dead already. States compete to increase spending so they can take a bigger slice of the federal pie.

[Tenacious 1]

But the governor said once it was clear the law would take effect, she sought ways to have Arizona take advantage of a key provision rewarding states that expand their Medicaid programs. In this state, that is the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, which she described as the “gold standard” of Medicaid programs.

Jan, Arizona would have to change their laws back. Simple as that! Undo the bad deeds for your people, leader.

[Heart of Georgia]

It’s already that entrenched?!

[Kenny]

Must be starting to look like a possible win on defunding Obamacare if the leeches are starting to sweat their handouts.

[Boogieman]

If the state chose to plan their budget so foolishly, then it will be their own fault. Maybe after suffering the consequences, they will learn not to count chickens before they hatch.

[commish]

And she said there is no direct cost to Arizona taxpayers, with the state’s share being paid by a tax on hospitals.

Because of course those hospitals are not going to raise fees to cover those new taxes........

[Hoodat]

Hey Brewer, it won’t affect your state budget at all (unless you were stupid enough to expand Medicaid). In fact here in Georgia, we might actually benefit from it. Because of our state’s refusal to expand Medicaid, the federal government will not be offering Obamacare subsidies to people living below the poverty line. So if these career third, fourth, and fifth generation welfare recipients want Obamacare, they will have to move to a state that expanded Medicaid like New York, Massachusetts, California, or Arizona. In fact, to get them the hell out of our state, we might even pay for the bus ticket. Where do you prefer we send them? Phoenix? Or Tucson?

[Talisker]

McCain, Brewer... what is it about Arizona?
