Gov. Robert Bentley announced he will decline federally funded efforts to expand Medicaid, In a State that needs help badly !

There is a simple answer for this.

If Obama is for it. The GOP is against it..Bentley will go down in history as this States worst Gov, ever..

He is a Tea Party Fan. Forget a Republican Winning the Presidency..

I used to be a Republican.. But not after G W Bush ,and Cheney .. This Republican led Congress has made Washington a laughing stock.. I will never vote for another Republican again.Local or National.

Look at all of the turn coats in the State, and this City that switched to Republicans.To get elected in this Red State.

Knowing that their Party is not good for the Country.

I don't know that Governor Bentley is the worst Alabama governor ever, there are certainly a lot of contenders for that (dis)honor. He is, however, building a track record for putting dogma before the well being of the citizens.

And Bentley calls himself a Christian. 662,000 uninsured Bentley! But as long as your tea party friends are happy who cares about the other 662,000 huh?

Sadly our governor would rather sacrifice the health and well being of thousands of Alabama's citizens in order to please the intelligence challenged majority of voters in our state. We, rich and poor alike, are suffering from the lack of basic needs in this state while our governor waives away funds which would alleviate so much suffering. We are truly a red state, as in Redneck.

What is the cost to Alabama taxpayers of adding 662,000 people to the Medicaid rolls? Those who pay no taxes are all for adding more to that which they already receive. This simple observation will be portrayed in the comment section as hatred or anger by the non-producers, per Saul Alinsky.

Otis ,neither Al nor any other state can opt out of the new health care plan.. The advantage of setting up our own is that we retain more control over it. By rejecting the plan the Feds are forced to administer the plan. The law is not such that any state can totally reject the Health Care Act. The ultra conservatives want you to believe, and obviously you and many other ill informed citizens of our state already believe, that all a state has to do is not join the plan and the Health Care Act will go away. This is of course is not true. Now the Act will be administered by Washington and you and your friends will be dealing directly with Washington on matters relating to health insurance. and by the way your present insurance carrier is subject to this law. Now, thanks to our governor, you are like Mongo, a mere pawn in the game of health care!
