The States: Where We Wish Texas Would Secede Already

Looking for the article someone posted in one of the threads here about how the GOP has no desire to progress anything except gaining power?
 
Maine

(BDN) -- An outgoing Republican lawmaker who sits on the Lincoln Town Council has shared — and since deleted — a Facebook meme that features the Confederate battle flag and challenges friends on the social media platform to repost the image.

In the meme, which Rep. Sheldon Hanington, R-Lincoln, shared from another Facebook page called “The Brotherhood,” the Rebel flag is shown beneath a written message stating that “we will not back down from our heritage,” according to a screen grab provided to the BDN.

Hanington did not respond to a phone call or emails seeking comment about the post, which was first reported by the Lincoln News.

In an email to that local newspaper, Hanington said that he is “most definitely NOT a racist” and the “meme did not incinuate [sic] that at all. It just said that those with heritage to this flag should fly it proudly.”

Hanington, a U.S. Army veteran, then went on to say that he served alongside “dozens of colored comrades that were from the south” who “were proud” of the Confederate flag, according to the email, which was shared with the BDN.

OK. This may be a big f-cking deal and it is very good news.

With a razor-thin margin, Oklahoma voters on Tuesday passed a state question that would expand Medicaid in the Sooner State.

Oklahomans voted in favor of State Question 802 with 50.48% of the vote. The state question edged out the vote with about 6,000 ballots in favor of the measure.

Medicaid expansion is now enshrined in the Oklahoma Constitution after years of opposition of the Republican-controlled Capitol. Lawmakers now will be forced to figure out how to pay for the expansion.

According to estimates before the coronavirus pandemic, expansion will make 200,000 more people eligible for Medicaid in Oklahoma. The state will pay 10% of the cost of the expansion, and the federal government will pay the other 90%.

Oklahoma follows 36 other states plus Washington, D.C., in expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. It’s expected to cost Oklahoma $164 million per year but would bring in an estimated $1.2 billion yearly from the federal government.

That's rock-ribbed moron-infested Oklahoma. To me it is further evidence that we run on health care EVERYWHERE. The Republicans picked the losing side and put themselves in a terrible position. Make. Them. Suffer.

I think the problem is that R's haven't been mentioning healthcare when they are lying, er... "Talking"... Fixing healthcare was a major talking point for Trump in 2016. It was one of the first points he made and he rode it through the election. Yea, he was straight up lying, but he still said he was gonna do something, and that is all the R's need to hear to get them on board. It's a "We'll do it tomorrow..." scenario...
 
Republicans have been going to "do something" about healthcare since at least 2008, maybe even earlier, with Bush the Dumber passing Medicare part D.

That's over a decade. And yet, they still haven't cobbled together even the barest skeleton of a plan.

That's because the ACA is mostly a 25 year old conservative plan to counter Hillary Clinton in the 90's. By 2017, there was no more room to the right of it. They can only lie and pretend they have a nebulous plan to sell because what they pushed through then was widely hated by everyone and McCain put it out of it's misery.

“We can bring back over $1 billion of taxpayer money from Washington, D.C., that’s currently going to 36 other states to provide health care for Oklahomans instead of it going to California or New York,” said Amber England, with the group Yes on 802.“
