A conservative Republican, Brewer is believed to be the first governor to publicly come up with a way to fund the controversial Medicaid expansion. Not even California Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat in a state that largely supports the new federal health plan, has figured out how to pay for a boosted Medicaid plan.

Gee, AP. Agenda much? It's only "controversial" in the media bubble where 20% of the population (i.e., the hard core GOP racist "base&quot

gets 80% of your attention.
