Gov.Deal is NOT honest...

Gov. Deal stated he can not support Medicaid Expansion for the state of GA. due to the cost. He is not being honest, he is being political. 600K people are do not have insurance and the ACA would allow the state to cover them with the Medicaid expansion which is paid for by the Federal Government (yes paid for, don't have time to rehash how the ACA is already paid for, look it up). The issue is our Gov. is not being honest. First 3 years covered by fed. government, there after 90% covered. He also stated he wants the Congress to repeal the law set in place by Pres. Regan that anyone who winds up in hospital, uninsured, should be serviced. Not only does he not want to cover those who can be, he wants you to suffer to the point of just die and get out of the way. What a horrible way to lead. Hospitals in rural areas are closing, people continue to loose jobs and he wants no part of helping. Vote him out. You saw how he left us stranded on the road during our snow storm as he was at a luncheon. Georgia get out and vote this November and protect each other from these insane policies!!!
