Wait. How do State voters expand a Federal Program

---

They passed an amendment to the state constitution requiring the state to participate in ObamaCare’s Medicaid expansion. MO is not the first state to have this happen. The legislature refuses to participate, the dems circulate petitions to put it to the vote of the people.

The anti ads were basically, “How are we going to pay for this?” And the pro ads were people in white coats saying, “In the midst of a pandemic, how can you deny health care to the poor?”

Early in the evening the vote was against, but for some reason conservative areas of the state report their votes first, as the evening wore on and it was getting closer, I was sure it was going to pass. People who get free stuff don’t vote against free stuff.

I guess those people like subsidizing other people’s health care and paying more taxes. Sheesh.

spread the msg...maybe not a difference in this election but where ever you have a solid rat core, the rest of the state should vote the very last minute...

do not give the rats a chance to conjure up more last minute and "found" ballots that turn the election around....

they are notorious in finding just the number of ballots they need....its uncanny...

Rural areas do use medicaid, they voted against it anyway.

The suburbanites are the ones who put it over the top.
