Will NH Senate Republicans Come Out Against the ACA/Medicaid Death Tax?

Medic-ade – It Looks Refreshing at first…

Something else we might want to ask our cadre of ObamaCare supporting Democrat legislators this election season.

1) Why did you vote for a bill (ACA) knowing that it made insurance so expensive that older middle class citizens who need each other as much or more than ever would be better off divorced as a result of your support?

2) Did you vote for it becasue after our senior citizens were forced into expanded Medicaid by ObamaCare  they could be subject to a death tax with states able to seize assets of the deceased regardless of income level?

And here’s one for New Hampshire legislators who are still trying to expand Medicaid in New Hampshire.

Since you continue to ignore the federal regulatory force that you will be inviting into the Granite State by taking federal Expansion dollars, and you refuse to accept that long term, New Hampshire loses money on expansion and it is essentially a new broad based tax, would you consider ensuring that neither the state nor the federal government can ever seize the assets of people on Medicaid? (Unless there is obvious evidence of fraud).

By the way.  Seeing as no future legislature is bound by what you do, you cannot guarantee anything.  And unless we repair the domicile and residency issues for voters you should not expect even moderate Republicans to be in office much or all that long.  You should therefore not accept the Federal expansion bait and switch, yank the transmission out of the Medicaid Expansion hopey-changey bus immediately, and seek other long term local solutions.

Getting us off the current regime of Federal handouts is probably far too much to ask, but that is also advised as that money is short lived and we’ll be replacing that too soon enough.

As to the present problem you can begin by making the case for opening the insurance market back up to keep people off medicaid and to make coverage options, doctors, and care center/hospital options more accessible, personal, and affordable.  You could call it “New Hampshire Health Care Choice.”

It would almost guarantee a flood of new businesses and the employment and revenue that goes with them, solving other problems without new or higher taxes or expanded federal fraud and influence peddling.

They were not the ones we were waiting for, this is not the change we were hoping for.

ObamaCare was a very expensive lie.  Medicaid Expansion is part of that expensive lie.  Don’t make yourself or New Hampshire, its next victim.

Note: Nice to see Hot Air a day behind me on something for once.
