That sucks.

So they want more money, then? Or?

with semi-refined oil flowing freely in the streets of what passes for suburbs in arkansas, a shitball like asa hutchinson's dropping his pants to let ugly old wayne lapierre stick his tiny dick into his withered ass.

what's wrong with those southern morons, always letting rich northern corporate folks take advantage of them every which way?

At least unlike Pennsy, we're going to take the federal monies to expand medicaid (at least it looks that way). We're not doing it in the most efficient way (the term "private option" was invented here) but it looks likely that more Arkansans are going to have health insurance as a result.

The oil spill really is pissing people off, by the way. There was a less publicized spill much closer to me. Oil in a dry creekbed turns out to be too remote and not dramatic enough to get TV cameras here.

And otherwise, our state legislature is really reached new levels of moronicness.

According to Avik Roy, an ex-McKinsey guy whose main claim to fame amounts to being a regular punching bag for Chris Hayes on the subject of health care, Arkansas should pass on the Medicaid dough. Of course, if he had gotten even most of his facts right, he might have reached a different conclusion.....

Yes, there have been attempts to keep this from happening, but it's one of those things that at this point probably has enough momentum (and the state chamber of commerce and all the rural hospitals want it) to pass. I think the national anti-obamacare crowd got wind of all this and are jumping in late in the game.

The rural hospital especially need medicaid expansion. I know a few people on our hospital board--most are pretty reliably conservative--but they very much are pushing expansion, for obvious reasons.

Obamacare's Deficit Reduction Continues to Unravel - This is very surprising

Un is trying to solidify his legitimacy as a leader with the NK people and his generals by swinging his dick. The only thing that concerns me is he may end up backing himself into a corner to where he'll feel obligated to take some sort of action.

The Washington Examiner? You're seriously bringing that crap in here? Lies aren't so much surprising as, well, wrong.

The options that most Medicare Advantage participants select include Rx coverage. That reduces overall costs of care for seniors* because it results, essentially, from moving Medicare money around, mostly from hospital coverage to Rx benefits.

Team Obama has shown no reluctance to pivot on a dime on policy when it decided where they were headed was either politically or economically (or both) inadvisable.

I don't expect either you or Philip Klein to understand this stuff. MA and plans of its type were conceived of long ago by conservatives who had an interest in policy & governing. People like Kein - liars like Klein - have another,very small, agenda

*not all Medicare beneficiaries are seniors, but most are, so

Just for clarification, since the last thread is locked. The 800,000 is dollars prosecuted for welfare fraud in the current fiscal year, not amount of clients, which I never said.

I like Klein, and the Washington Examiner has a handful of pretty fantastic writers.

He's arguing that the idea that Obamacare was ever going to cut the deficit was always full of shit. Some of the CBO sleights of hand were known at the time, especially the doc fix stuff and that some of the revenue generating aspects of the program were in place for most of the decade, while the costs were concentrated in six years to give it a better CBO score. Now Congress and the administration are chipping away at various other cost saving and revenue raising aspects of the legislation. They could be items that we're better off with them repealing, but the result is a larger deficit and not the reverse.

Does the GAO lie? That's what his article is based on. Feel free to read the "lies" at its source:
