Vos Bypasses Medicaid Expansion/Jobs/New State Revenues to Protect Insurer Profits

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It seems fulfilling campaign promises are so important to Republicans that they would shut the government down to keep one.

Yet when Democratic Gov. Tony Evers tried to do the same thing, promising to expand Medicaid, he’s accused of trying to “score political points?” And that’s what snarky Republican Rep. Robin Vos said about Evers proposal.

Medicaid Expansion No Brainer: WPT’s Here and Now presented a few important points, including the not so surprising admission by public servant Vos that he’s out to protect insurance profits, and not provide health care to constituents.

First, here’s what Gov. Evers sees as a win-win for Wisconsinites and the economy with Medicaid Expansion. The math is inescapable, and another revealing horror from Scott Walker’s “legacy:”
 

Yes, Vos and Sen. Scott Fitzgerald would walk away from $1 billion because government would just spend, spend, spend…on roads, schools, broadband expansion, pay of debt, etc.??!!!

In fact, Evers is so sure about Medicaid Expansion, that he’s taking it directly to Republican rural voters who have been ignored by Walker and the legislature for years, under the guise of “small government.” The days of rural resentment might be over.

Uh-oh, Wrong Argument Robin…: For Vos, it’s not about helping and strengthening rural communities and farmers, nope, it’s about protecting those city slicker insurers.

Vos claims insurers will be forced to pay into Medicaid Expansion, and then increase insurance rates on those buying policies in the private sector, something I can’t confirm after extensive research (but I did find job creation and higher state revenues-shown later below).

Still, and ironically, those terrible “higher insurance premiums” Vos is complaining about, well they’re a major funding source for the Republicans much touted “high risk pools.” Seriously? Good luck selling that plan now:

Wisconsin’s Far Right Legislature nothing like other Red States: Vos is also wildly wrong about “a short one-time savings for the state.” In fact, expansion pays for itself and so much more, and research proves it:

The gerrymandered Republican majority at the Capitol will now have to argue against real jobs and economic numbers. Other red states are also moving forward:
