OUTRAGEOUS!! HYPOCRISY!!
The astonishing
hypocrisy of Medicaid opponents
as reported by Jack
Lessenberry,
political Commentator
and professor of
journalism at Wayne State University.
You know
by now that the Michigan Senate has finally voted to approve expanding Medicaid
benefits.
POOR RECEIVE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE
Eventually
nearly half a million of our citizens [those who earn less than $15,000.00 per
year] will have at least basic health care, these are people who do not now have health care.
The benefits in terms of human decency and a healthier workforce are enormous!
MISDIRECTED THINKING?
Those who
opposed Medicaid expansion said they didn’t think we should burden future
generations with another “entitlement
cost.” **
BUT, HATRED WINS THE DAY!
Many of
them also admitted their opposition was based on their hatred of President
Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which they continue to oppose even though it was
passed by U. S. Congress, and passed
constitutional scrutiny of the United
States Supreme Court.
Sore losers, or are they just plain “Losers!!”
14 of the
18 senators who lost by voting against the expansion of health care by voting “No”
- now, however, are determined to do something spiteful to hurt both the state
and the poor.
$7 MILLION DOLLARS A DAY!
After the expansion of health care was approved, 14 senators
voted against giving the bill immediate effect. This means that instead of health
care benefits beginning on January 1, 2014, when the Medicaid expansion
officially begins, Michigan won’t be able to take part until April 2014. Because of
this spiteful and horrendous action by these senators, our state stands to lose
$7 MILLION
DOLLARS A DAY in money Washington is making available. That means our State of Michigan (You &
Me) will lose six hundred and thirty million dollars in January, February and
March. That is $630,000,000.00
dollars!!
LOSERS!
** HERE IS THE WORST PART!!
Brian
Dickerson of the Detroit Free Press has
reported that every one of the eighteen senators WHO VOTED AGAINST expanding Medicaid to the poor – VOTED FOR GIVING ALL BUT ONE OF THEMSELVES LIFETIME
HEALTH CARE – AT TAXPAYER'S (OUR) EXPENSE.
The Hall of Shame!
The 13 senators who successfully voted themselves
lifetime health care benefits and voted to make the state and the poor who
suffer financially before getting basic health care under Medicaid – are as
follows:
Darwin
Booher of Evart
Jack
Brandenburg of Harrison Township
Bruce
Caswell of Hillsdale
Judy
Emmons of Sheridan
Mike
Green of Mayville
Joe
Hune
of Hamburg Township
Rick
Jones of Grand Ledge
John
Moolenaar of Midland
Mike
Nofs
of Battle Creek
Phil
Pavlov of St. Clair
John
Proos of St. Joseph
Dave
Robertson of Grand Blanc
Tonya
Schuitmaker of Lawton
– JUST PURE DISGUST!
As a
citizen of this beautiful State of Michigan, the above listed senators bring me
immeasurable embarrassment, and demonstrate unbelievable fiscal irresponsibility
for our beautiful State of Michigan.
Pure Michigan – Pure Disgust!
