All part of the plan. Nationalized medicine will make the VA look like an elite Hollywood clinic. Private clinics will always be around for people with money, and the rest of us will be on a waiting list just to get a worthless $3/month pill.
but expanding Medicaid with Obamacare was supposed to be a boon to the economies of states that did it.
I’m fond of patting myself on the back for my first ever political realization 25 years ago: The welfare state will kill us, NOT the Russians, or any commies, or the Muzzies, or nuclear war, or anything else. Even Reagan managed to put ABSOLUTELY NO DENT WHATSOEVER in the welfare state. NOT ONE SERIOUS CONTENDER POL, NOT ONE, has ever vigorously pushed for even cutting back on the welfare state. Maybe Ryan has, actually. I’m not sure.
I came to the same conclusion, which is why we left there 8 years ago. New Mexico is turning into California.
The utopia of leftism!
Which of course is Obama's plan for fundamental change.
Are we certain that we don’t want to repatriate this state?
Cloward-Piven strategy.
Socialist agenda designed to overwhelm the current system causing a collapse with the ultimate goal of ushering in a new form of governmental system.
Now for the bad news...It’s working y’all.
Now more bad news...Republicans are actively participating and or at the very least, complicit.
The two party system is dead folks. We are being sold a bill of goods. Don’t believe it?
Take a gander at the latest headlines from the republican camp. Romney/Ryan team up once again to promote Ryan’s book advocating amnesty.
Mississippi senatorial incumbent begins pushing the virtues of immigration reform after winning primary.
And to think, from my birth till I went in the Military we never had health insurance. Survived just fine.
100% of Illegal Aliens are receiving huge amounts of Social Services.
Don’t let the headline fool you.
They live here because they get free stuff payed by your taxes.
Hey, it’s not like our country is dead broke and we’re borrowing millions every hour just to stay afloat...
New Mexico has been a Democratic state for a long time.
No one thinks about how fiat money and politicized interest rates support the nanny state - and change society in 1000 ways
End the Fed, and conservatives will no longer need to fight (and lose) so many battles with progressives
Liberal utopia is to take from the haves and give to the have not so everyone is in need.
Which is the same percentage as Old Mexico.
Just raise taxes and bring in some illegals. That’s a recipe for success according to democrats.

Wow, i’m over 65 and retired, on SS and Medicare, have lived in NM since 1955. I paid SS taxes since I was 15, paid Medicare taxes till I retired. Now I pay the Medicare Premium about $104.00 a month and the deductible and the 20% co-pay. It seems the posters here lump us in the medicaid pile that pay no premium, no deductible, no co-pay and get dental and eye care the elderly who need those 2 most don’t get in Medicare. I do not consider myself as an entitlement moocher or welfare state recipient. I know people still working but within the ACA guidelines and get an ACA premium subsidy where they pay a smaller premium than medicare recipients do. Getting lumped in constantly as some welfare moocher makes you want to turn in your conservative badge.
What about the ‘Old’ Mexicans ???
