re: #227 piratedan

I don’t give Cactus Barbie much cred, but regardless of the cold blooded pragmatism behind the move, in the end, a lot of folks are going to get coverage that they otherwise would never receive. So that’s a net win. That this pisses off Mr. Papers Please is an added bonus. Maybe it will even split off a few more semi-sane R’s that still reside in the state from the total loon segment of the party (of which there are a healthy number)

Arizona is full of elderly people and lots of people who work (sub) minimum-wage service jobs without benefits. She would be a fool not to expand Medicaid, but it goes to show that there is no compromising with the extreme right of the GOP: they are out to enforce ideological purity at all costs.
