Just tell me how much the GOP is giving insurance companies in guaranteed taxpayer dollars this darn time.
But you are still spending the same amount of money. Money we can’t afford. So its not really repeal.
Bingo! NO GRANTS!!!
This sounds like a way to create 50 little disasters instead of one great big disaster.
You’re still the same amount of money but spending it in 50 different ways, which is generally not the way you drive cost savings.
You’re going to make the states reliant on this money forever, right? I mean, this isn’t going to phase out over time. We already are seeing this with the Medicaid expansions that took place already.
There is no way this is done without a million regulations on how the states can spend the money, right?
