If New Hampshire were to expand the program, the federal government would pick up the full cost for the first three years and 90 percent over the long haul. New Hampshire’s health care providers would share in an estimated $2.4 billion over seven years.
The bipartisan agreement would end when federal funding drops below 100 percent in three years unless the Legislature voted to continue it.
…”the Legislature would EVER vote to” discontinue ANY new entitlement? Riiight. Once enacted, there will be NOTHING bipartisan about stopping it. Democrats would NEVER vote to take away an entitlement, any extension of the Welfare State and the Republicans would not stand up to do unless they had supermajorities in which they didn’t have to worry about a thing (or wait….we did have that, didn’t we?). Face it, now that the NH State Senate Republicans decided to build this on-ramp to a more socialized State, they won’t EVAH have the stones to repeal this Obama stew. Democrats will continue to ride this new Republican provided highway until they arrive at the sign that states:
“…run out of other peoples’ money”
There is no such things as “free money” – but the Democrats and NH State Republican Senators Chuck Morse, Jeb Bradley, and Nancy Stiles want you to believe that there is such a thing. After all, they seem to want to believe that childhood dream that the Obama Administration is going to live up to its promises, too.
I guess they haven’t heard of that phrase that those of us who track Obama’s promises have at the ready:
EVERY Obama promise has an Expiration Date
Just as soon as it is politically expedient to do so.
