So does South Carolina it seems, that crazy woman they elected governor has refused expanded medicaid leaving a great number of the people hanging in the wind. Then her health minister comes on to explain their answer to how they will cover them all. I must say that he sure could lie with a perfectly straight face. Either that or he was simply insane.

Governor Brewer Defeats GOP Lawsuit....Medicaid Expansion Full Steam Ahead!

I do not agree with her on most things but she does know which way the wind is blowing in AZ....not expanding Obamacare there would just hasten Arizona's change to a blue state.

And at the same time the Republican governor of Kentucky has been going full tilt on Medicaid expansion, thereby leaving McConnell in a delicate position of not knowing whether to shit or go blind during his hotly contested Senate race. Serves him right.

You are correct....but I think the guy is a Democrat in KY....
from what I understand the State is generally blue at the state level but red at the national.

Ah, you're right. He wrote an op-ed in the NYTimes skewering McConnell.
