New Hampshire’s troubled Governor can add yet another failure to her policy quiver. And it’s a big one.
The Democrat controlled New Hampshire House had more than enough votes without any cover from the reliable RINO’s to pass Medicaid Expansion. The Republican Majority State Senate appeared willing to make a deal that would have locked New Hampshire into the Obama-Care provision to expand Medicaid, while giving cover to years of partisan democrat support for the health Care overhaul. All Hassan had to do was make a very short reach toward a body that was already standing on her side of the aisle…and she F*****d it up.
She touched it and it all went to crap. I confess that it is one of the things I like most about her.
No, Medicaid Expansion is not dead. As soon as the drool dries on the chins of Democrats who could almost taste the institutionalization of failure; smell the economic decline of an inevitable sales or income tax; feel the swelling of dependency upon which their party feeds–they will be back to try again.
The “sun” has risen and they have been driven back to their lairs.
Many people killed entire forests of digital trees to make this possible. But expansion has only been tabled. Our work here is not done.
