Mari posted some kind of typical GOP reflex against Medicaid Expansion funds pushed in the states with  GOP dominated legislatures and GOP governors that lead the ranks of states who have more people without access to health care in any decent sense and are forced into ERs if they go at all which are of course not equipped to deliver continual non-emergent (minor or major emergent) healthcare.  Virginia, Louisiana, Georgia are excellent examples of brainless governors who are going to see greater and greater numbers of people with no access to health care and their ER visits pass the cost of health care on to middle class and upper income families by thousands of dollars a year because of the refusal to accept Medicaid Expansion.

Additionally, the bogey man fears that the feds would dry up expansion has never ever come to pass in the history of the U.S.

There’s no precedent for feds dialing back Medicaid dollars

In contrast this morning, the headline in the Atlanta Journal Constitution is a story on the front page "Insurance program runs dry in Ga. U.S." meaning that the temporary health insurance plan for people with pre-existing conditions has run out  of money, and the hope for these people to get insurance will become a reality when the ACA gets up and running in 2014 through the exchanges which are lesser programs than single payer would have and  should have been.

AJC Front Page Headline Saturday March 16, 2013:
Money for health insurance fix runs dry in Ga., U.S.

But ACA remains the only hope for say, the many individuals who are now denied insurance for the pre-existing condition of a garden variety illness like AODM Type II which will effect 33% of every man and woman on this planet by the time they reach 60 years of age.
