Liberal activist organization MoveOn.org has launched what it calls “powerful campaigns in every state where Republican governors are denying health care to millions of Americans by refusing to expand Medicaid.”
One of those states (they think) is South Carolina …
“Last year, Governor Nikki Haley announced that she would not accept new federal dollars to expand the state’s Medicaid program,” an online petition from the organization reads. “Tell Governor Haley to reverse course and accept federal Medicaid dollars.”
Um … really?
Clearly these socialized medicine supporters have no idea who they are dealing with …
As this website has exclusively reported, Haley’s administration is expanding Medicaid in South Carolina like gangbusters … by 16 percent in the coming fiscal year (at a cost of nearly half a billion dollars).
Ready for the kicker? According to Kaiser Health News, South Carolina’s Medicaid growth rate is larger than the 12 percent average increase in states which approved Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion.
(Which still isn’t enough for some people …)
States which didn’t approve Obamacare? They’re only growing their rolls by five percent …
When you stop and think about it, if MoveOn.org was serious about Medicaid expansion it would be sending petitions to the pro-Obamacare states asking them to grow the socialized medicine like Nikki Haley has …

Let’s get rid of Haley next election.
It will be a “GREAT DAY in South Carolina”!!!
And elect Sheheen, so he can open the gates and let Obamacare infect us, w/o any resistance…How big will he expand Medicaid, that we CANNOT afford as it is…????
Or what about when Obama blocks our voter integrity laws or tries to take our jobs away and give them to his thugs in union states???…Sheheen will slap his back and grin like a fellow Dumb@$$…
Primary Haley if you can w/ a true Conservative…but NO D*#n thanks to a democrat. They have damaged our country enough. They are UNFIT TO SERVE STATEWIDE IN SC…let’s keep it that way….
You’re some hypocrite, Mr. Medicaid!
GT, was ill but feeling better lately, ready to jump back in and tag team these doofuses. Thanks for being the lone voice of sanity on this oh so liberal blog. Let’s put this isht on blast. 2014 baby.
Welcome back BB!!!!…. And thank you for your service. You are an American…and even better yet…you know what that means…
A uneducated SC american, no wonder the jobs will go to another state. As time moves forward, SC stands fast, pricless!!!
Looks like the emergency rooms will be filled, along with extra high bills for you to pay Tango, great plan, Idiot!
Haley needs to go.
Haley isn’t expanding medicaid. They are finding those who were eligible before the ACA expansion but for some reason didn’t sign up. The expansion of medicaid through the ACA would insure thousands more. https://www.scdhhs.gov/sites/default/files/AffordableCareActPublicMeetingUninsuredSlides.pdf
HaleyCare is a half assed “replacement.” Meanwhile, Utah reverses course as they realize refusing the expansion is stupid as shit and only hurts themselves.
Five years from now the 26 states that took the fed money will be leagues ahead of SC, even more so than they already are. Thanks Haley, and thanks to the rest of the shitheads willing to turn down a viable solution and offer up nothing in its place.
My only hesitation to promoting a 0% income tax in SC is the influx of blue hairs that will enter the state, clogging up our highways and further expanding the medicaid rolls.
Well, what do you expect. If you’re going to get insurance to a huge population of unemployed, under-educated people willing to stay in the poorest and lowest ranking state in the Union (victorious Union) – you gots to put ’em on the Medicare.
More noise from the weakest wheel. Only people “on the take” would like the liberal stance on this blog. I’m happy that Obama and his rotten Democrat retinue will be soundly defeated and the GOP will own the Senate soon.
