Republican Governors Balk as Congress Races to End Obamacare
Source: Bloomberg
Republican governors, while remaining publicly committed to ending Obamacare, are telling their congressional delegations that repealing the health-care law without an adequate replacement would ravage budgets and swamp hospitals with the uninsured.
The leaders of states such as Ohio, Nevada, Idaho and even Alabama are urging a heavy dose of caution, according to statements and letters solicited by U.S. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. They’re warning lawmakers as President-elect Donald Trump and congressional leaders come to grips with the reality of promises to end a law Trump styled “a disaster” even as it brought insurance to 20 million Americans.
“We must be careful not to increase the rate of uninsured, particularly for our most vulnerable citizens,” Utah Governor Gary Herbert wrote in his letter. “Reforms must be fiscally prudent but, should maintain or improve affordable access to health care for those that are currently covered.”
Herbert and eight other governors were in Washington today to talk behind closed doors with Senate Republicans in a meeting focused on changes to the joint state-federal Medicaid program, which the law greatly expanded.

The fascist now want to have the states control the health care.
So for example lets say the red state of Alabama sells insurance for 500 dollars a mouth with a 8.000 dollar deductible and lets say red state Wyoming sells it for 400 dollars a month with a 7,000 deductible, so all of the red state Alabamians think I"ll go and buy the insurance from red state Wyoming, then the state insurance agent for red state Alabama comes along and says hell lets sell our worthless plan for 300 dollars a month, we keep the same worthless deductible at for 7,000 dollars for the ultimate S**T plan , and the fascists republicans in Congress being led by Eddie "Fucking" Munster, says, while you states are doing that we only give a 500 dollar voucher to cover, the costs.
So all of them can get there bribe money and really screw the folks
