Republican Governor Rick Snyder Signs Medicaid Expansion Bill For Michigan
September 16, 2013
By Anomaly
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) signed legislation Monday to expand the states Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act, TPM reports...
Expect Tea Party heads to explode. Yay!
Snyder said, A healthier Michigan is an important part of our states continued comeback. Today, were reaching out to nearly a half-million Michiganders with a message that help is there for them and their families to lead healthier, more productive lives. And this innovative approach will make our recovering economy stronger, too, saving money for taxpayers and job providers.
Talking Points Memo reports, Michigan is one of a handful of Republican-controlled states to agree to the expansion; most have resisted. Snyder actively pushed for the expansion, but the bill was nearly derailed by opposed GOP lawmakers, as TPM chronicled last month.

I mean, is going on?
The GOP House is going to shut down the federal government if a deal isn't cut by September 30th, a unilateral one, that is, and the money to run things and send out payments will end by October 15th, by some reports.
Sounds like Halloween is coming early with Boehner playing the part of serial killer Freddie Kruger.
Millions of Americans are wondering if their pension checks will arrive, state governments who have accepted the ACA and all of that must be worried, Kochroaches are lining up to be POTUS in 2016, and some DUers are seemingly in favor of a final chance to impeach Obama - if he doesn't allow the shut down and delays anything.
I think they got the year on the Apocalypse wrong!
BTW, I loved, loved, loved those photos! And the folks there need to all GOTV in 2014 to clean these RWNJs out of a job.
Love Fords, always have. Proud to see them doing well, making communities whole again anywhere..
