Medicaid was jettisoned by the Arizona Senate Appropriations Committee on an 8-5 vote to end the 30-year-old safety-net program.
I AM LOVING THIS!!
The State of Arizona threw AWAY $7.5 Billion in Federal matching funds because we needed to ‘contribute’ some $2 Billion to get it. Well, IN YOUR FACE, OBAMA ADMINISTRATION!! IN YOUR FACE!!!
We are not going to put up with the damned losers sucking down Government Cheese on our dime anymore, no matter HOW MUCH the Federal Government bribes the State of Arizona to do it.
Arizona is the first State to officially move towards killing Medicaid completely.
Nobody, but nobody deserves getting a service without paying the piper.
The warnings from stupid liberals are dire. "Unemployment would skyrocket", said Medicaid Director Tom Betlach of the cuts.
So what? The $7 Billion they’re employed on came out of my pocket and they’re sucking up to illegal aliens, dope junkies and unwed mothers. They can be unemployed and it won’t be breaking my heart any.
Betlach said "How would we care for these citizens?"
Frankly, Scarlett, I don’t give a damn.
The free ride is over. Nearly a THIRD of Arizona residents are pretending to be poor so that they can ride the gravy train, and the gravy train just got decommissioned.
If you want free government cheese, then the message is clear… get your ass out of Arizona.
