The insurance co's will make more money, and the state gets more aid. That's why she is pushing this. Same thing going on in Florida.

Yet another fracture in the Tea Party/Republican civil war. Regardless of her reasons, this is something to celebrate!

She just forced me to begrudgingly show her some respect as an actual leader. Yes of course expanding Medicaid should be a no brainer but that hasn't stopped other Republicn governors from resisting it. The fact that she is playing hardball with Republicans in her legislature over this catches me at a near loss of works. Good for her.

but she did the right thing. Can we not let it go when the opposition does the right thing?

EDIT: If it turns out to be a turd, you can yell at me.

This, I think, is why Obama does not engage in a 'take no prisoners' approach. We need Republicans on our side. If they want to still be known as Republicans, that's fine so long as they vote with us on the important things.

The Tea Party is forcing some strange bedfellows, indeed!

The most lunacy induced GOP member suddenly gets a clue, and frankly, I can't fault her for it.

He needs creative new ways to twist the arms of the right wingers.

I don't know if that's a worse outcome for a President than it is for a governor. But maybe it's time to throw caution to the wind and force Congress to that position. At least then the public would know who to blame.

And actually, nothing much is getting done in Congress now, anyways.

I find her distasteful to say the least but give her props for occasionally exercising common sense.

Pleasantly surprised I must say. Not the sort of thing I've come to expect from this woman. Too hard-hearted even for her, I suppose?
