Stop Medicaid expansion in Ohio: Tuesday Blitz

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



Last Monday, Tea Party Patriots State Co-Coordinator Marianne Gasiecki delivered a letter against the expansion of Medicaid in Ohio signed by 25 Ohio Tea Party & liberty groups across the state, and the petition signed by over 2,600 Ohio residents, to Governor Kasich’s office. A copy of the letter and petition was also delivered to Ohio House Speaker Batchelder’s and Senate President Faber’s offices.

Getting coverage from the local level to across Ohio and from San Francisco to Washington D.C., you can be sure that not only Governor Kasich and the Ohio Legislature knows where we stand, but the country now knows the Tea Party & Liberty groups in Ohio are ready to combat any expansion of Medicaid in our state.

To date, while we have received no direct response from the Governor himself, the Tea Party & Liberty groups in Ohio were attacked by a recent political appointee of Governor Kasich’s days after our letter and petition were delivered.

In response to our opposition on the expansion of Medicaid in Ohio under Obamacare, Ohio Right to Life President Michael Gonidakis, who supported provisions that allowed Obamacare to become law, and who was recently appointed to the State Medical Board by Governor Kasich, called Tea Party groups in Ohio, “idealogues that are putting the conservative movement at risk by opposing the expansion of Medicaid and saying to hell with other Ohioans.”

It should also be noted that while he claims to have fought against the passage of Obamacare, Gonidakis actively campaigned for and applauded the passage of the Stupak Amendment, which allowed Obamacare to be passed into law. Now, while on the State Board, he is promoting the expansion of Medicaid in Ohio under Obamacare.

How do we respond to these border-line Obama-like Chicago-style thug politics? We work even harder to defeat the expansion of Medicaid in Ohio under Obamacare!

Passion to Action

      Hello Friends,

      Governor Rick Perry millions of under-privileged poor Texans who do not have any Health Coverage will be covered under The Affordable Care ACT (ACA) expansion of MEDICAID!

      My Physician wife’s practice is partly dependent on MEDICAID and its viability.
      Please allow the expansion of MEDICAID to occur in Texas under The Affordable Care ACT. If states choose to expand Medicaid, the federal government will cover 100 percent of the costs from 2014 to 2016. The feds’ contribution will begin to decrease in 2017, but will never be less than 90 percent, under the ACA.

      That’s why I created a petition to Governor Rick Perry, Texas Governor, The Texas State House, The Texas State Senate, and Governor Rick Perry, which
      says:

      “Please ACCEPT the FREE EXPANSION of MEDICAID under The Affordable Care ACT.”

      Will you sign this petition? Click here:

      Thanks!
