GOP plan to go after poor who already have health care. Despicable.

[rdean]

On Tuesday, the Arkansas House of Representatives voted not to fund a continuation of the state’s alternative to the Affordable Care Act’s optional Medicaid expansion, effectively stripping as many as 96,000 of the state’s poorest residents of their current health coverage.

The state House adopted several amendments aimed at scaling back ACA outreach efforts and passing costs onto consumers. For instance, Arkansas will no longer be able to use federal money to promote Obamacare in any form, including advertising, direct mail campaigns, or through so-called “navigators” tasked with helping people sign up for new plans under the law. The ban on using outreach money applies to the entire Obamacare marketplace, and as the Arkansas Times’ David Ramsey notes, direct mail outreach efforts in particular have been critical to the private option’s success.

The poor are such an easy target for the GOP. They don't have the money to fight back. So sad.

Nancy Pelosi's dirty little secret about why she told Congress to "not read, just pass" the 2500-page whitepaper aka "Affordable Care Act" aka "Obama Care" but actually is a dead pool of failed Community Organizer bullshit. Here's the pool with the cover removed:

​

Believe it's good to party in the waters of ACA if you think it's good for you. Republicans know better and are just trying to save others the grief. Nothing like Party Democrat bots lying their butts off to hold the lid on the putrid contents of Obamacare. ​

OK, so a few people who were on welfare will now have to pay their own way or get help from a private charity. And this is news?

I am curious...

Are you aware that when you read something from a biased organization, be it progressive OR conservative, you are reading something that may be accurate as it pertains to facts, but inaccurate as it pertains to context and/or intentions.

In other words....

Hypothetical and outrageous example....outrageous to make a point......

Conservative Rep "A" votes AGAINST military funding.
Think Progress reports how he is a hypocrite for he was always pushing for military funding and the reason he voted against the bill was because he is "a man of no" as long as a black man is in office"

But what is not mentioned is the fact that IN THAT bill, there was a clause that gave the President of the United States the authority to write all laws himself....and thus the reason he voted against it.

It is known as spin.

Learn to weed through it.

Well Deany I see nothing despicable about it at all. Bout time the poor started paying their own bills. Bout time their little pity party took a vacation.

I certainly don't want to bankroll their lives for em. If you want to then have at it. I'm sure they will take every dime they can get from you.

So sad my ass. Perhaps the poor should get off their asses and take care of themselves for a change. Stop depending on other people to bankroll their lives for em.

Your an idiot.
